The Off-Ramp: Novel Diabetes Reversal Program Bolsters Support of Nonpharmacological Disease Management

Recent results from a new diabetes reversal program demonstrate the reliable, sustained benefits of nonpharmacological interventions in the management of diabetes and overall health of patients.

The prevalence of diabetes continues to rise and shows no signs of slowing down, according to a 2021 report from IDF that estimates 537 million people worldwide live with diabetes—approximately 10% of the global population.1 If the reports predictions hold true, these figures could reach 643 million in the next 5 years, and surpass 780 million by 2045. At the time, diabetes led to $966 billion in health care expenditure, with IDF projections anticipating a future where the associated health care costs exceed $1.4 trillion.
