Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Just picked up a copy of my local paper and the headline is as above and the story tells of a success of the Revita DMA treatment of a Bromley resident who was a T2 for 10 years on increasing meds and had the Revita treatment and now has "almost" non diabetic numbers.

Hope the link works, if not search for Bromley Times and then E-edition and then latest edition.

And for those who still remember me I am still getting non diabetic numbers myself
 
Thanks for post @Sid Bonkers this is interesting.

AKA Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing.

Search turns up a few results. Appears to be happening mainly in teaching hospitals.

Rsearch is still ongoing for DMR. I attended a presentation by an Endo leading some research into it in the Midlands.

It wouldn't have been an option I would ever have consider (if I had ever qualified for it), but I respect other people's wish to give it a go, if their current regimes aren't giving decent results.

The UK Clinical Trials Gateway can provide some fascinating reading for anyone interested in trials for anything. https://www.ukctg.nihr.ac.uk/
 
Hello forum members,

I’ve been watching the DMR Revita trial with great interest this last few years. And if it wasn’t for a clerical balls up I would have been on the trial being conducted up at Glasgow Uni hospital.

I have just learnt of the Revita DMR procedure being commercialised and now available at surprise surprise a London based clinic.

I’m keen to have this procedure but at £3500 it’s a little beyond my means currently. I’m wondering if there’s anyone out there knows where else this procedure maybe available. And if there’s anyone on this forum on the NHS’s Procurement Team, when can we expect this to become available on the NHS?
