Many experts believe that Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic disease, so it may be more accurate to use the term remission rather than cure, particularly when considering the cause of type 2 diabetes and the fact that relapse is always possible.<\/p>\n
DiRECT (short for Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial)<\/a> has been testing a new approach to putting Type 2 diabetes into remission in just over 300 people with Type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\nThe study found there\u00a0was a close link between remission and total weight loss. 86% of people who lost more than 15kg on the programme put their Type 2 diabetes into remission after a year. As did 57% of those who lost 10 to 15kg, along with 34% of those who lost 5 to 10 kg. In the comparison group, where people with Type 2 diabetes received standard care, only 4% achieved remission.<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s Type 2 diabetes remission? Remission doesn\u2019t mean that Type 2 diabetes is gone for good. It means that blood glucose levels have returned to a healthy range again. In this trial, the team defined remission as having blood glucose levels (HbA1c) below 6.5% (48mmol\/mol) after 12 months, with at least two months without any Type 2 diabetes medications.<\/p>\nEven\u00a0American Diabetes Association\u00a0 admits that, Type 2 Diabetes Remission Without Surgery Does Happen\u2014But Very Rarely<\/a>.<\/p>\nIn a consensus statement issued by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), remission is defined based on the following:<\/p>\n\nPartial remission: Maintenance of blood glucose below diagnostic levels without diabetes medication for at least one year.<\/li>\nComplete remission: Normal blood glucose without diabetes medication for at least one year.<\/li>\nProlonged remission: Complete remission for at least five years duratio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many experts believe that Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"faq_category":[402,400],"class_list":["post-944","avada_faq","type-avada_faq","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","faq_category-402","faq_category-400"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
