A low-calorie diet plus structured exercise put early-onset type 2 diabetes into remission for 54 percent of participants, a new study found. The RESET for Remission trial results were published on September 30. It involved 96 people in the UK and Canada. Half followed the diet and exercise plan. The others received usual care. After 24 weeks, 27 of 50 in the diet group were in remission. Only 2 of 46 in the control group achieved it. The diet group lost an average of 8.4 kg. They kept their muscle while losing fat. The study was led by McGill University and the University of Leicester. It was presented at the EASD meeting in Milan. Researchers say the approach could change how early diabetes is treated. Longer real-world studies are still needed. Doctors stress the plan needs medical supervision, and it is not suitable for everyone with diabetes. The full results appear in a leading medical journal.
