EHealth versus face-to-face support for remission of type 2 diabetes by calorie restriction (eHealth DIabetes remission Trial): study protocol for a non-inferiority parallel group randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

If a person is in diabetes remission, even if only for a short time, this reduces the risk of later diabetes complications and lowers healthcare costs. A recent study shows that long-term remission of type 2 diabetes can be achieved through calorie restriction using total diet replacement. However, this intervention involves support through face-to-face meetings every 2 to 4 weeks over a 2-year period, which is not feasible in routine care with limited resources. Therefore, we have developed an eHealth programme to help patients achieve diabetes remission through calorie restriction in a cost-effective manner. Our primary hypothesis is that an eHealth programme will be non-inferior to face-to-face meetings in helping patients with type 2 diabetes achieve remission thro
