The aim of our study was to find out if a new intervention combining diabetes education with commercial behavioural weight management would help people with a recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes to lower their average blood sugar and lose weight compared to current standard care.

There is strong evidence that commercially available behavioural weight management programmes are cost-effective and have sustained impacts on weight for people with overweight or obesity, but evidence for these programmes in type 2 diabetes is limited.
