Type 2 diabetes patients 21 times more likely to achieve remission with intensive lifestyle changes

A strict routine combining a low-calorie diet with supervised strength and aerobic training helped more than half of younger adults reverse type 2 diabetes within six months, according to a study published in The Lancet Regional Health - Americas.

The study, dubbed the RESET for Remission trial, found that 54% of participants under age 45 who completed the intensive lifestyle program achieved disease remission.

In comparison, only 4% of participants receiving standard medical care reached the same milestone.
