<br> The feasibility of the behavioural and dietary intervention, delivered in primary care, aiming to promote weight loss and improved glycaemic control, and whether to progress to a full-scale RCT. The measures of feasibility are:<br> 1. The proportion of allocated intervention group participants who attempt the dietary intervention after randomisation, assessed through nurse documentation at intervention visit<br> 2. Fidelity of intervention delivery: the proportion of essential elements included in intervention delivery sessions; evaluation of transcribed audio-recordings following intervention delivery visits, assessed against a checklist of essential elements<br> 3. The proportion of enrolled participants who attend the final follow-up session, assessed at 12 weeks<br>
