Low-Calorie Diet and Exercise Put Early-Onset Type 2 Diabetes in Remission for 54% of Participants
Source Summary
Research presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes annual meeting in Milan and published in The Lancet Regional Health Americas found that approximately 54% of people under 45 with early-onset type 2 diabetes achieved remission through a combination of low-energy diet and structured exercise. The study demonstrates that roughly half of early-onset type 2 diabetes cases can be reversed with this lifestyle intervention approach.
Why it matters
This finding demonstrates that early-onset type 2 diabetes, a growing health concern in younger populations, can be substantially reversed through non-pharmaceutical lifestyle interventions.
