On this page, we take you through the innovations and results of 2024.
Available in more and more regions
In 2024 we opened four new locations in the Netherlands making the program more accessible.
The Reverse Diabetes2 Now GLI program is a fully digital program and starts both during the week and on weekends.
The main differences between Reverse Diabetes2 Now GLI and Plus
There are two different Reverse Diabetes2 Now programs:
Reverse Diabetes2 Now GLI is a digital program for people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes who use no medication or only metformin and have impaired fasting glucose. "GLI" stands for combined lifestyle intervention.
Reverse Diabetes2 Now Plus is a physical program for people with type 2 diabetes who use more diabetes medication than only metformin, including SU derivatives or insulin. "Plus" stands for additional medical supervision to safely reduce blood sugar lowering medication.
The main difference between the programs is the extra medical supervision required in Reverse Diabetes2 Now Plus. Additionally, Reverse Diabetes2 Now Plus takes place partly in-person at a location (outside of a hospital setting), while Reverse Diabetes2 Now GLI is fully online. Different conditions apply for participation in both programs.
Reimbursed by all health insurers in 2025
In 2025, Reverse Diabetes2 Now will be reimbursed through the Dutch basic insurance package by every insurer! For two insurers (CZ and Zilveren Kruis), different agreements apply depending on the region
