Diabetes Component

The New Direction® System is the first in the weight control industry to introduce a disease-specific component for Diabetes. The Diabetes Component of the New Direction System contains:

  • Clinical guidelines for medical monitoring
  • Clinical research demonstrating the benefits to obese patients with type 2 diabetes
  • Educational materials that target the needs of patients with type 2 diabetes
  • Marketing Tools
  • Physician Referral Brochure
  • Patient Brochure

The Diabetes Component was developed in cooperation with the International Diabetes Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota and based on a clinical study of the New Direction Program specifically for obese patients with type 2 diabetes. The medical protocol and all associated materials were reviewed and updated by a physician specializing in the obesity treatment of persons with type 2 diabetes in 2008.
