Remission of type 2 diabetes depends on time since diagnosis and low-calorie diet composition: Results of a randomized controlled trial in individuals with overweight and obesity

Key Points

• Remission of type 2 diabetes is influenced by fasting plasma glucose and diabetes duration, offering insights for dietary interventions.
• Key evidence indicates that considerable remission is possible even after prolonged diabetes, affected by macronutrient profile.
• This randomized controlled trial assessed the impact of dietary composition on diabetes remission using specific macronutrient profiles.
• Findings highlight the importance of early diagnosis and tailored diets in managing type 2 diabetes effectively.
