The National Health Service low calorie diet (LCD) programme does not include children under the age of 16 years old. However, NHS England and NHS Improvement continue to monitor the latest evidence to inform future updates to the eligibility.

It provides LCD treatment for adults between 18 and 65 years of age living with type 2 diabetes who are overweight or obese.
