Intensive lifestyle changes—combining a high-protein diet and regular moderate exercise—promoted diabetes remission in 87% of those newly diagnosed.
“Researchers randomly assigned 61 adults with obesity and either prediabetes or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes to one of two groups. Both received diabetes medications and general lifestyle advice, but one group also participated in a structured program that combined a high-protein diet with supervised moderate exercise (30 minutes daily, five times a week) for 12 months.”
