Abstract Synopsis

  • The concept of type 2 diabetes remission is gaining attention, as evidence shows that substantial weight loss can help about 90% of individuals reduce their HbA levels without medication and improve metabolic syndrome.
  • Conventional treatment targets leave the disease unresolved, but newer medications can safely achieve normal HbA levels, though many don't want lifelong drug treatment.
  • Research into dietary approaches is essential, as sustained weight loss of 10-15 kg can improve HbA and potentially lead to remission, especially in those with a shorter duration of diabetes and lower medication needs.
