Adherence
Changes in specific health behaviors (physical activity, diet composition, alcohol, smoking) were not consistently associated with diabetes remission in this study.
While weight loss is crucial, simply trying to change your diet or exercise habits without focusing on the resulting weight loss may not be enough to put diabetes into remission. The weight loss itself is the key factor.
GoodRefutesMEDIUM confidence
