The client is a Canadian healthcare organization with its sights set on caring for patients with Type 2 Diabetes and help them reduce their reliance on medication.

BACKGROUND:

The program is physician-led and evidence-based, with the primary influence being the work of Dr. Roy Taylor and his colleagues through pivotal clinical trials such as DiRECT, Counterpoint, and Counterbalance.

All patients are seen with a referral, either directly from their primary care providers or after they sign up on the website, we will reach out to their family doctor for approval and to get the referral.

The initial visit is a consultation with one of our physicians accompanied by bloodwork and an extensive patient questionnaire (Wellness Quotient).  The goal of the consultation and follow-up is to help the patient understand why they have type 2 diabetes, what they can do about it and working together to set a goal.

The online program curriculum teaches the 4+2 Diabetes Reversal Strategy - essentially, what they can do to align their lifestyle behaviors with their physiology.

They are recruiting for physicians that want to work part time or full time virtually.  The platform manages all the aspects of patient education and creates a patient community to share the challenges and accomplishments.

This teaching is paired with 12 weekly group medical visits, where patients can access a physician and registered dietitian for 60 min.  These sessions focus on helping patients with the 'how' to do it aspect of behaviour change.

After 12 weeks, we repeat bloodwork and review progress.  Our goal during the 12 weeks is to help patients find the path toward remission or better glycemic control - depending on their specific goals.
