ITV Commissions New Series Tackling Diabetes

News Image
ITV has commissioned a brand new factual entertainment series, 'Diabetes: The Fast Fix', which will see people with Type 2 diabetes attempt to reverse their condition.

It will feature five obese and overweight patients moving into the Fast Fix Clinic, living on a diet of 800 calories per day for four weeks in an attempt to lose two stones in weight.

The show is produced by 7Wonder and will be presented by Anita Rani, featuring special guests Rosemary Shrager and Paul Sinha also attempting to lose weight via extreme diets.

Host Anita Rani will be joined by GP and diabetes expert Dr Zoe Williams and Professor Jason Gill, who conducted diabetes research that inspired the programme.

TV Commissioning Editor, Factual Entertainment Satmohan Panesar said: "With a bold experiment at its heart, this specialist factual entertainment event is going to find out if we can genuinely change the lives of our patients by reversing diabetes and the damage done and potentially save the NHS billions."
 
Anita Rani said: "Type 2 diabetes is a national crisis and a massive challenge to the NHS. But this experiment proves that there is real hope of turning the clock back and reversing type 2, using this revolutionary diet to stop this epidemic in its tracks."
 
The series was commissioned by Satmohan Panesar, ITV Commissioning Editor, Factual Entertainment and executive produced by Eve Kay and Duncan Coates for 7Wonder.
