Intensive weight-loss intervention linked with increased chance of partial remission from diabetes

Intensive weight-loss intervention linked with increased chance of partial remission from diabetes: Among overweight adults, participation in an intensive lifestyle intervention (that included counseling sessions and targets to reduce caloric intake and increase physical activity) was associated with a greater likelihood of partial remission of type 2 diabetes; however, the absolute remission rates were modest, according to a study in the December 19 issue of JAMA.
