00:00A low-energy diet combined with structured exercise reversed early-onset type 2 diabetes
00:05in 54% of participants. This breakthrough offers new hope for a condition known to cause faster
00:11health decline in younger adults. The study involved adults under 45 with early-onset
00:17diabetes and obesity who followed a strict 800-900-calorie daily diet and exercised
00:23regularly for 24 weeks. They lost an average of 8.4 kilograms, mostly fat, while preserving
00:29muscle mass, which is crucial for long-term health. By comparison, the usual care group
00:34lost only 1.2 kilograms and saw just 4% remission. Researchers say this approach not only improves
00:41health but can lead to remission without medication. Experts emphasize that reducing daily calories by
00:48500 to 700 and aiming for 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly supports these results. Registered
00:55dietitian Avery Zenker said,
00:57We have evidence that type 2 diabetes doesn't have to be an inevitably progressive disease.
