Patient
Summary:
Oviva Diabetes Support is a fully remote, QISMET-accredited programme of structured education and behaviour change for people with type 2 diabetes. The programme provides participants with weekly one-to-one coaching from a specialist dietitian over ten to 12 weeks, to support behaviour change and develop sustainable self-management strategies. Dietitian coaching is supported by highly engaging evidence-based structured education materials for self-study, and participants can use the Oviva app to self-monitor progress against goals, maintain a food diary and communicate securely with their dietitian.
Challenge/problem identified:
Diabetes costs the NHS over £10 billion per year, of which 80% is spent on treating complications which could be prevented through good diabetes management. Structured education and guided behaviour change are crucial to help people self-care and reduce risk factors. However the National Diabetes Audit and research indicates that uptake of traditional group-based, face-to-face structured education programmes is poor, and the impact on clinical outcomes and complication rates limited.
Impact:
- Average uptake of 75%, with 85% of participants completing the programme
- Clinically meaningful improvements in diabetes treatment targets, as demonstrated by outcome data (including average 13mmol/mol reduction in HbA1c and 6kg body weight loss at six months programme completion)
- 96% of participants ‘extremely likely’ or ‘likely’ to recommend Oviva Diabetes Support to friends or family
- Estimated NHS savings of £1,000 per participant based on reduced medication need and service utilisation
