New guidance claims type 2 diabetes can be reversed with 15% weight loss

IrSPEN, the clinical nutrition group, is advising people living with type 2 diabetes and obesity that they can reverse, or put their diabetes into remission if they can lose 15% of their body weight.

This even applies to the people who are on insulin and have poor diabetes control. Remission is achievable by half of people living with type 2 diabetes if they can lose 15% of their body weight.
