Popis: This case series has documented five patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D), referred to the various Diabetes Reversal Centers of the 'World free of obesity and diabetes' campaign in Maharashtra, India. It demonstrates the therapeutic effects of lifestyle modification for remission of diabetes along with weight reduction and reversal of insulin resistance. This resulted in reduction of their glycated haemoglobin level, which signified the long-term effects of this lifestyle modification. Diabetes reversal by lifestyle modification is a healthier option and must be encouraged in all the patients in the pre-diabetes group (HbA1c- 5.7–6.4%) and those with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (HbA1c- >6.5%) without any complications, thus promoting good health seeking behaviour. There are pieces of evidence of complete diabetes reversal of the patients with HbA1c ranging from 8 to 15% by just lifestyle modification and also without any complications among the patients registered under the 'World free of obesity and diabetes' campaign. India is a low-middle-income country with prevalence of T2D on rise. It is thus necessary to provide the community with a cost-effective and sustainable solution for primary and secondary prevention of this lifestyle disease.
