Remission of Type 2 diabetes can be life changing, DiRECT offers one potential solution, we are committed to working with the researchers and the NHS to ensure these exciting findings reach people with Type 2 diabetes as soon as possible. The new results build on the first-year findings, announced in December 2017, which showed that 46% of participants were in remission after twelve months. A year later, 70% of those participants are still in remission.

As a well-established brand you might assume you can rely on Thermos for high-quality products, but our tests show that not all of its travel mugs are created equal. Diabetes UK is proud to be at the forefront of over a decade of pioneering research into type 2 diabetes remission. Our DiRECT study has been pivotal in transforming the lives of people with type 2 diabetes by showing that the condition can be put into remission through weight loss. The new findings from DiRECT confirm that for some people, it is possible to stay in remission for at least five years. A fantastic gift for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors, it also comes in Rose Pink if you like the sound of it but think they’d prefer it in a different colour.

Of course, not everyone likes pink. But if there’s someone on your list who does, this would make a lovely gift. And if you like the sound of it, but pink’s really not their thing, there’s a Graphite (aka ‘dark grey’) one available too. The level of insulation determines how long the thermos flask can maintain its contents’ temperature, whether hot or cold. There are two major types of insulation; foam and vacuum insulation. The best option would be a vacuum flask as it able to keep your drinks at their original temperature for longer. Vacuum flasks are made with double-walled stainless steel that creates a gap between your drinks and the exterior part of the bottle, preventing heat or cold from getting in or escaping. So, if you need a thermos for overnight use, you’ll have to invest a bit more in a vacuum flask. In addition, a good flask should be able to keep cold contents cold, longer than it would maintain hot drinks. out of 85 people from the intervention group were in remission at the start of the three-year extension study. 11 out of 48 of these (23%) were still in remission at five years, and their average weight loss was 8.9kg However, one failed to impress our testing experts, letting hot drinks cool far more rapidly than we'd have liked. It's our lowest-scoring travel mug of the 13 we've tested in total, with just 46%.

The findings are important both for individuals and for national considerations of healthcare costs. The programme used in DiRECT is a huge improvement on previous management of type 2 diabetes, but future studies must seek even better ways to help maintain weight loss.” We know a DiRECT style approach isn't suitable or doesn't work for everyone with type 2 diabetes. That's why we're continuing to invest in research to find more routes to remission and give more people the best chance to lose weight, maintain weight loss and stay in remission. A solid performer in testing, SHO’s food flask kept water chilled for the advertised 20 hours and even managed to keep a portion of ice cream very cold, albeit a little melted, for the same period of time. Similarly, it kept hot food such as pasta piping hot over a period of 10 hours. The flask’s design also proved practical as well as stylish, with neat touches including a handy foldable spork, which stores in its lid, and a rubber carry handle. While the 530ml version is suitable for single portions, those of you looking to share may want to opt for the more roomy 800ml option. Ironically, I wasn’t bothered about the outside, but the fat on the inside around the liver. It’s been a good journey!” But no matter how long people can stay in remission for, spending extra time with blood sugars levels below the diabetes range can have lasting benefits to health.

What does remission mean for you?

Do you find yourself wishing for a new thermos every time you have a different need? Well, it’s probably because you tend to look for a different size for each occasion. For instance, if the contents in your thermos are intended to hydrate two or more people, then its capacity would have to be larger. If you prefer something small and light then it would make sense to go for the smaller options. This is not intended to be a full statement of your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
