Fasting Mimicking Diet Programme for Diabetes and Obesity Reaches UK Clinics
People in the UK with type 2 diabetes or obesity may soon be able to try a medically supervised fasting-based programme through their clinic, and the first practice began enrolling patients this week.
According to Longevity.Technology's report, L-Nutra Health has launched a clinician-led metabolic health programme in the United Kingdom. It is the first time the programme has been offered to clinics and medical practices here. It is built on more than 25 years of research led by Dr Valter Longo.
The programme centres on the Fasting Mimicking Diet. Longevity.Technology says the company describes it as a patented, plant-based nutrition plan. The idea is to follow a specific eating pattern for a short period, in cycles, rather than fast completely.
According to the report, the programme combines periodic cycles of the diet with personalised nutrition consultations, laboratory review and ongoing monitoring. It also includes medical oversight where a patient's medication needs supervision. That matters for people with diabetes, whose medicines may need attention when eating patterns change.
Under the model described, partner practices supply the clinical team, nutrition professionals and laboratory testing. L-Nutra Health provides the diet kits, practitioner training and patient materials. The report says this follows the model the company runs in the US.
On the evidence, Longevity.Technology reports that the company claims the diet is shown in clinical trials to support improvements in blood glucose, insulin sensitivity and body weight. The company's release cites a 12-month randomised controlled trial in primary care, published in Diabetes Care in 2024. It also cites real-world results presented at the American Diabetes Association in 2025. These are the company's claims as relayed by the report. The coverage does not give trial sizes or results, and it does not say they were independently assessed.
This article is based on Longevity.Technology's report of the research. The underlying papers were not reviewed. Cost was not disclosed in the report.
According to the report, the first UK practice, HealthMatters Group in London, began enrolling patients on 20 October 2026. What to watch next: whether other UK practices join, what the programme costs, and whether independent results from UK patients match the figures the company cites.
