Type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission is being widely accepted and documented as feasible through calorie restriction and bariatric surgery. Recent studies with lifestyle changes have also shown T2D remission; however, long-term remission through lifestyle modifications is not yet established. Though glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a universally accepted indicator of glycemic status, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) would be a more robust marker in understanding whether the metabolic abnormalities in glucose metabolism have undergone complete remission as well. We present a case series of four patients enrolled in the Holistic Transformation Program, a lifestyle modification program, between 2016 and 2018. The intervention was a combination of a vegan diet, structured exercises, and stress management delivered over 12 months. All four patients successfully achieved T2D remission and cleared OGTT consecutively for a minimum period of 3 years. Our findings suggest that long-term T2D remission may be possible through lifestyle modification. |
