Abstract:A short course of intensive lifestyle and drug therapy achieves on-treatment normoglycemia and promotes sustained weight loss. It may also achieve prolonged, drug-free diabetes remission and strongly supports ongoing studies of novel medical regimens targeting remission.
“…One used low calorie diet, with a subsequent lifestyle program for weight loss maintenance [15]. The other combined lifestyle treatment with an initial period of oral antidiabetic drugs, subsequently transitioned to lifestyle treatment only [16].…”

“…This systematic literature search identified two studies comparing the effects of intensive weight loss programs with standard diabetes care with respect to remission of type 2 diabetes [15,16]. One used low calorie diet and the other used energy reduced 'normal' diet and exercise combined with initial anti diabetic drug treatment.…”

“…Of these 5 articles, one was excluded due to inappropriate control treatment [13], one because it did not meet the criteria for RCT [9] and one because it was a subgroup analysis of an already included article [14]. Two articles finally met the inclusion criteria [15,16].…”

“…The second study [16], a Canadian study by McInnes et al, was a randomized controlled study aimed at investigating feasibility, safety and potential for inducing remission by use of a short-term intensive metabolic intervention combined with modest weight loss. Remission was defined as HbA1c <6.0% (42 mmol/mol), and partial remission as <6.5% (48 mmol/mol), both in the absence of oral antidiabetic drugs.…”
Background: A systematic literature review was conducted to assess the strength of the evidence on intensive weight loss programs on diabetes remission, in individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, compared with standard diabetes care.

“…Amylase inhibitors particularly Acarbose, a pseudotetrasacharide, have been used it the treatment of type 2 diabetes where they have moderate effects to reduce peak postprandial glucose and Hemoglobin A1c. Normally, they are used as a second line medication often in conjunction with metformin (36). Evidence also exists that Acarbose can reduce dumping syndrome after bariatric surgery (11).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
