Thermos 185198 Direct Drink Flask, Charcoal, 470 ml, Stainless Steel, Black

Product Information

Remission is closely linked to weight loss, 64% of participants who lost more than 10 kilos were in remission at two years. Participants regained some weight, as expected, between the first and second years of the trial. However, those who were in remission after one year, and who had stayed in remission, had lost a greater amount of weight on average (15.5 kilos) than those who didn’t stay in remission (12 kilos). A solid performer in testing, SHO’s food flask kept water chilled for the advertised 20 hours and even managed to keep a portion of ice cream very cold, albeit a little melted, for the same period of time. Similarly, it kept hot food such as pasta piping hot over a period of 10 hours. The flask’s design also proved practical as well as stylish, with neat touches including a handy foldable spork, which stores in its lid, and a rubber carry handle. While the 530ml version is suitable for single portions, those of you looking to share may want to opt for the more roomy 800ml option.

Overall, the extension intervention group saw greater improvements in blood pressure and blood sugar levels and had fewer needed medication than the control group. Your thermos sees a lot of outdoor use, so go for something that can take a few dings without losing its thermo-regulation capacities. Your best bet would be stainless steel options that have solid or protected lids. On the other hand, those with quirkier designs are best used at home as they are more likely to falter with a few blows. Please note that during particularly busy periods, it may take a little longer to receive your delivery and our carrier may attempt to deliver to you on a Saturday. As well as resulting in remission for some people, there appear to be additional benefits to taking part in a weight management programme overall. These include a reported better quality of life, improved blood glucose levels and a reduced need for diabetes medications. The future of remission researchDiRECT has 100% been life changing. Those few months on the low-calorie diet were hard, but I’d do it again no question. DiRECT was an opportunity to reboot the way I was living and I’m so grateful for what being healthy has given me the opportunity to do. It’s amazing that what I went through all those years ago is still benefiting me today. I’m still in remission and not on any diabetes medication – I can’t quite believe how long it has been.” People with Type 2 diabetes, and healthcare professionals, have told us their top research priority is ‘can the condition be reversed or cured’. We can now say, with respect to reversal, that yes it can. Now we must focus on helping people maintain their weight loss and stay in remission for life.” The primary function of a good quality thermos flask is to keep contents hot or cold for as long as possible, greatly enhancing your lifestyle. They can give you more freedom and flexibility with your fluid intake. Some people would even consider buying two or more thermoses from our list so as to have models of different sizes with varying features to fulfil different purposes. Capacity: Bigger capacity means more contents to enjoy. It also means more weight to carry, but only if you fill it to the brim. For best insulation, buy a flask that’s slightly bigger (but not heavier) than you need, and leave a couple of centimetres of air at the top. We’ve included capacity and weight info for all our flasks below. The researchers also looked at data from 82 participants who were part of the original DiRECT control group. Participants in the control group didn’t receive the ‘soups and shakes’ programme in the original DiRECT trial and didn’t get follow up weight loss maintenance support from their GP surgery. The latest results

New findings from a three-year extension of our landmark DIRECT study show that nearly a quarter (23%) of participants who were in remission from type 2 diabetes at two years in the original trial remained in remission at five years. Insulated cup: Good flasks also pay attention to the insulation of the detachable cup, if they have one. This is so your drink stays warm while you’re drinking it. Meanwhile, the outside stays cool, so you don’t risk burnt hands. A good thermos flask can give you several years of service and even add greatly to your lifestyle. If you need a flask for those cold camping trips, see our guide on the Best Tents. It allows you to take your favourite drinks any time, anywhere, especially when on long trips. There are numerous excellent options to choose from when shopping for a thermos flask. They come in different models, sizes, and with varied features. Therefore, if you are thinking of getting one, here are some of the important features to look for. The Arvestrix coffee travel mug is one of the best travel mug UK that you could own (see our guide to the best ground coffee too). This coffee-to-go mug is made of high-quality stainless steel. It’s made of a double-walled vacuum insulation, which keeps your beverages warm for up to four hours and cold for eight hours. This eco-conscious drinking cup comes with a timeless design and a solid stainless steel body that’s more robust and resistant compared to others in the same category.

out of 85 people from the intervention group were in remission at the start of the three-year extension study. 11 out of 48 of these (23%) were still in remission at five years, and their average weight loss was 8.9kg When it comes to keeping your drinks just the way you want them, you can trust this small-but-mighty flask to deliver. Thermos vacuum insulation technology keeps tea, coffee or hot chocolate piping hot for up to 10 hours and chilled drinks cold for up to 24 hours. So it fits the bill whether you’re up a windswept mountain in need of some central heating, or basking on the beach making the most of a summer heatwave. The DIRECT study findings support growing evidence that weight loss, and remission from type 2 diabetes, can prevent or delay the complications of diabetes. And while it's encouraging that some people could stay in remission for five years, we also saw that those who regained the weight they had lost, came out of remission. As a well-established brand you might assume you can rely on Thermos for high-quality products, but our tests show that not all of its travel mugs are created equal.

Understanding why significant weight loss results in remission of Type 2 diabetes is at the heart of DiRECT. Studies have so far revealed that weight loss reduces the levels of fat inside the liver and pancreas, which in turn leads to the pancreas ‘rebooting’ insulin production again. Kieran Ball was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2013 and started DiRECT the following year. Kieran lost 22kg and put his type 2 diabetes into remission in the first year of the study. Having taken part in the DiRECT extension, he is still in remission today. Kieran said: The level of insulation determines how long the thermos flask can maintain its contents’ temperature, whether hot or cold. There are two major types of insulation; foam and vacuum insulation. The best option would be a vacuum flask as it able to keep your drinks at their original temperature for longer. Vacuum flasks are made with double-walled stainless steel that creates a gap between your drinks and the exterior part of the bottle, preventing heat or cold from getting in or escaping. So, if you need a thermos for overnight use, you’ll have to invest a bit more in a vacuum flask. In addition, a good flask should be able to keep cold contents cold, longer than it would maintain hot drinks.Designed to resist bashes and blows from all angles, the durable double walls provide the vacuum insulation, and also ensure your hands stay nice and cool, even if the flask is filled with a piping hot brew. What’s more, if it’s filled with a refreshing cold drink, the exterior is completely sweat-proof. Proving in DiRECT that Type 2 diabetes can be put into remission for two years in over two thirds of people, if they can lose over 10 kilos, is incredibly exciting. Achieving that entirely in NHS primary care is vital. Perfect for weekend adventures, as well as your daily commute to work, this super-lightweight, slim and slender design will have you sipping with style wherever you take it. Losing weight can improve your blood sugar levels too, even if they don’t go below the diabetes range, by helping your body to better respond to the insulin you’re making. This could mean you need fewer diabetes medications or lower doses. However, one failed to impress our testing experts, letting hot drinks cool far more rapidly than we'd have liked. It's our lowest-scoring travel mug of the 13 we've tested in total, with just 46%.

Professor Mike Lean, Head of Human Nutrition at Glasgow University, diabetes specialist physician at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and co-primary investigator of DiRECT, said: Data, which was available from 85 participants of the original DiRECT intervention group, revealed an average 5-year weight loss of 6.1kg Professor Roy Taylor, Director of Newcastle University’s Magnetic Resonance Centre, and co-primary investigator of the DiRECT trial, said: Multi-wall insulation: Double-wall insulation creates a vacuumed layer, which is vital for keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Some flasks include more layers for even better insulation. The 100% stainless steel construction of today’s flasks means there’s no risk of inner walls shattering when dropped. The results were announced at our Professional Conference in 2019 and published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The results

Diabetes UK is proud to be at the forefront of over a decade of pioneering research into type 2 diabetes remission. Our DiRECT study has been pivotal in transforming the lives of people with type 2 diabetes by showing that the condition can be put into remission through weight loss. The new findings from DiRECT confirm that for some people, it is possible to stay in remission for at least five years.
