Abstract
Aim/Hypothesis: This mixed-methods evaluation investigates the impact of Slimming World (SW) membership on weight, glycaemic control and mental-health related quality of life in adults with both T1D and T2D who either self-referred or were referred by a healthcare professional. It also evaluates the ease of application and the accessibility of the support offered to determine long-term sustainability of the lifestyle changes made. The hypothesis was that both glycaemic control and improvements in mental well-being are positively associated with weight loss and that participants would find the intervention easy to follow and achieve weight loss (≥10%).
