I feel that there is a lot of debate/confusion about Type 2 remission. There are many definitions used for remission in different studies , studies are of vastly differing robustness, duration etc. And I have seen several focusing on health in general that appear to flatly contradict each other - though these tend to be the epidemiological ones relying on just a 'food questionnaire' answers.
So to avoid me being asked to provide (plausible) proof of some of the things I say in the Forums (perhaps it's just me), I thought it a good idea to have a place where we could have descriptions of studies (conclusions, type, quality, length etc.) together with a link to the study or a link to a report on it which itself contains a link to the original study.
I will start this off with a recent on moderate weight loss and T2 remission:
A Cambridge University study:
Length 5yrs
Quality high (but method of weight loss and support required was not considered, though other factors were included).
Findings 30% T2 remission (HbA1C ,48 on no diabetes medication , not even Metformin) for those (newly diagnosed T2s) who achieved a >10% weight loss at the 5yr mark. Twice that of those who didn't achieve a 10% weight loss.
