Are you passionate about creating engaging content? Diabetes Digital Media (DDM) operate the world's most active and engaged diabetes community, and provides digital health interventions with clinically validated, peer reviewed outcomes.

Our AI-led digital health interventions are changing the lives of millions of people. We're starting by putting as many of the 375m cases of type 2 diabetes into remission as we can, with our Low Carb Program. Our evidence-based digital health interventions, like the Low Carb Program, have been featured in the New Scientist, The Times, Daily Mail, Sky News and BBC with thousands of people placing their type 2 diabetes into remission. The Low Carb Program is grounded in behaviour change psychology and our peer reviewed health outcomes have shown impressive results. 1 in 4 members are able to put their type 2 diabetes into remission whilst 60% are also able to reduce or eliminate insulin and 40% are able to eliminate one or more medications, saving GBP1.2 million per year in medication deprescription.

Why is this significant?

Because type 2 diabetes was once thought of as a disease that is chronic and progressive - but it is not, and by demonstrating that, we are changing the future of medicine. We've already saved the NHS GBP6.9m in medication savings in just a year. It's growing at a rapid pace, with over 370,000 people already on the Low Carb Program.

We receive over 45m visitors to our platforms a year and we've got over 700,000 members - that's more than 10% of people living with diabetes in the UK. The impact is massive.
