Commentary on: Hocking SL et al. Intensive Lifestyle Intervention for Remission of Early Type 2 Diabetes in Primary Care in Australia: DiRECT-Aus. Diabetes Care 2024;47:66–70.
Implications for practice and research Intensive lifestyle intervention in primary care can safely achieve type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission at 12 months in around half of selected participants with short-duration, well-controlled T2D. Research on the effectiveness and acceptability of strategies to improve durability of remission is needed.
Although previously thought to be inevitably progressive, evidence is growing that type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be brought into remission with weight loss.
