I'm not sure that I've seen a link to this January 2023 Unwin paper on the forums. It takes forward the work reported in earlier publications, and is a description of a "practical primary-care based method to achieve remission in T2D".

Highlights: Remission achieved in 77% of those with a T2 diagnosis of less than a year; falling to 20% for those with a diagnosis more than 15 years previously. Overall 51% of the cohort (of 186) achieved remission.
Incidentally, the definition of remission used here is apparently the product of "international consensus" (link to relevant paper below) and is an HbA1c of less than 48 sustained for more than three months without medication.

Improvement of glucose levels into the normal range can occur in some people living with diabetes, either spontaneously or after medical interventions, and in some cases can persist after withdrawal of glucose-lowering pharmacotherapy. Such sustained improvement may now be occurring more often...
