Diet and Exercise Program Induces Type 2 Diabetes Remission in Young Adults

A 24-week intervention combining a low-energy diet with structured exercise led to type 2 diabetes remission in 54% of young adults (18-45) with early-onset T2D and obesity, compared to 4% in a control group. Presented at the EASD Annual Meeting and published in The Lancet Regional Health Americas, the RESET for Remission trial also showed significant weight loss and preserved muscle mass without severe safety concerns. This offers a promising non-pharmacological approach for managing early-onset type 2 diabetes.
