Remission 21x likelier

A six-month trial found that 54% of adults aged 18 to 45 with obesity and early-onset type 2 diabetes who followed a supervised low-calorie diet and exercise program achieved remission, compared with 4% receiving standard care. Participants lost an average of 18.5 pounds, and researchers reported muscle mass was preserved, though most in the intervention group experienced mild to moderate side effects. The trial involved 96 people and was relatively short, and researchers said longer-term studies are needed to assess whether remission and weight loss can be sustained.
