Can Type 2 Diabetes remission be achieved in Overweight or Obese patients (BMI more than 27) with intensive weight management?

As seen in the DiRECT study done in the UK, 46% to 86% of participants in intensive weight management group were able to stop their diabetes medications. The % of patients achieving remission was proportional to the amount of weight loss.

Dr. Nikhil Gupta explains the study methods and results in an easy to understand manner.
