Diet plus exercise put 54% of early-onset type 2 diabetes participants into remission at 24 weeks

RESET for Remission enrolled 96 adults in Canada and the UK with early-onset type 2 diabetes, obesity, a mean age of 38 and no insulin use. The intervention combined 12 weeks at 800–900 kcal per day with supervised aerobic and resistance training, followed by 12 weeks of weight maintenance; 27/50 entered remission versus 2/46 controls. Temporary constipation, headache, dizziness or fatigue were common, and long-term durability still needs study under professional supervision.
