Dr. Hockings’s Mission: Reversing Type 2 Diabetes Through a Patented, Virtual Model

For Dr. Jeffrey Hockings, the fight against diabetes began at home. He watched both his aunt and his father-in-law suffer and eventually lose their lives to complications from Type 2 Diabetes. The grief was heavy, but it also planted a conviction: there had to be a better way.

Fifteen years ago, Dr. Hockings and his wife looked at the landscape of care and noticed something striking. While mainstream medicine had resigned itself to managing Type 2 Diabetes with a lifetime of medications, no one was building a true path to reversal. So, they decided to do it themselves.

From Personal Tragedy to a Patented Solution

What started as a homegrown effort has grown into the Diabetes Reversal Group (DRG), a patented and nationally scalable program built for one purpose: to help people reverse Type 2 Diabetes.

Unlike conventional care, where the goal is simply to keep blood sugar numbers under control, DRG is designed around long-term freedom from the disease. Patients who join the program are given a complete, structured system:

• A patented list of approved foods and drinks
  
  
• Patented nutritional supplements
  
  
• Weekly meal plans and recipes
  
  
• Weekly training videos and group support calls
  
  
• Exercise recommendations
  
  
• Shopping list
  
  
• Monthly newsletter
  
  
• 240 recipes
  
  
• Unlimited one-on-one support with DRG-certified coaches, five days a week
  
  

Every element is there for a reason, to help patients reclaim their health and reduce their reliance on medication.

A Different Path Than Mainstream Care

Dr. Hockings doesn’t shy away from pointing out where his approach diverges from the status quo.

“Managing diabetes with medications still leads to horrific complications,” he says. “Mainstream care doesn’t aim to reverse the condition. Our program has one goal: reversal.”

It’s this commitment, combined with measurable results, that makes DRG stand apart. The program holds a U.S. patent, a rarity in this field, and is backed by independent outcome data and a 15-year success record.

Built to Reach Anyone, Anywhere

One of the things that makes DRG unique is its accessibility. The program is fully virtual, so patients never need to leave their homes to get started. Coaching, support, and resources are delivered online, making it possible to reach people across the country, and soon, around the world.

To make the experience even smoother, DRG is rolling out a Salesforce-integrated patient app. Patients will be able to log meals, weight, blood sugar, and blood pressure, with the data syncing directly to DRG’s coaching platform. With built-in AI support, the app will even answer common questions instantly, reducing frustration and keeping patients engaged at scale.

A Partner, Not a Burden, for Clinics

For direct care clinics, DRG was built to fit in seamlessly. Providers can offer the protocol to their patients without adding new layers of work.

“When a patient joins, the clinic earns an average of $1,500,” Dr. Hockings explains. “We handle everything else.”

From done-for-you marketing emails to ongoing patient support, DRG was designed to lift pressure off clinics rather than add to it.

A Global Mission

The vision doesn’t stop at American borders. With India facing one of the world’s largest diabetes burdens, DRG is preparing to expand overseas.

“This is a global pandemic,” says Dr. Hockings. “We have a solution that works, and we want to scale it worldwide.”

A New Tool for Direct Primary Care

For Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinics, DRG’s model is especially powerful. While prevention remains the heart of DPC, patients who are already struggling with chronic disease need more than maintenance. They need reversal.

“We don’t compete with prevention efforts. We are focused on reversal,” Dr. Hockings notes. “No one else has what we have, a patented system that helps people get off medications.”

Too many patients are caught in a cycle of prescriptions and side effects. DRG offers a way to break that cycle, and to do so without creating extra work for providers.

A Partnership for Scale

Through a partnership with Health Compiler, DRG is now reaching deeper into the direct care ecosystem. Together, the two organizations are helping clinics bring a proven solution for diabetes reversal directly to their patients.

“This partnership allows us to help thousands of clinics offer a real solution to Type 2 Diabetes,” says Dr. Hockings. “Together, we can reach millions of people and deliver the kind of care that truly changes lives.”



Fifteen years ago, Dr. Hockings and his wife saw a possibility few others believed in: that Type 2 Diabetes could be reversed. Today, that possibility is a reality, delivered virtually, supported by data, and designed to change lives around the world.
