<div>The Lifestyle Club (TLC) is an award-winning and QISMET accredited online health coaching service created by the charity, Public Health Collaboration (1171887).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over 700 people have already benefited from TLC, with many putting their type 2 diabetes completely into remission. Let's take TLC from helping hundreds of people to helping millions of people.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To do that, we need to scientifically investigate our real-world results through a University-led research study. This will allow us to compare our approach with existing diabetes services and be commissioned on a national level.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>What the study will look like?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Partnering with the University of Surrey we plan to monitor 100 participants for up to 2 years. The objectives of the study are:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Gather robust data at baseline, and a range of time points up to 2 years.
</li>
<li>Demonstrate type 2 diabetes remission and medication reduction
</li>
<li>Identify success factors - i.e. who does best on TLC
</li>
<li>Record the changes people are making to their diet following a TLC course
</li>
<li>Report on attrition at all stages
</li>
<li>Quantify the feasibility of rolling this out across the UK.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The study will recruit participants through the later part of 2023 with them joining courses in January 2024. We will also seek input on our study design through a focus group of existing TLC participants.

<div><strong>What does the study cost?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will employ a part-time Research Dietitian, who will measure each participant's height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure and take a full blood panel at each time point. In addition, there will be screening for food addiction, an empowerment survey, 2-day diet history and a questionnaire about their circumstances. The funding will also pay for statistical support from the university to crunch the numbers. We will need to run a campaign in Guildford to raise public awareness too. The cost of TLC and university academic staff is already covered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we raise <strong>£50,000</strong> this will pay for setting up the study and measurements at baseline, end of course, three and six months. However, if we raise <strong>£63,000</strong> we can also follow up with participants after 2 years!
