Meta-analysis identifies clinical and behavioral factors linked to type 2 diabetes remission across surgical and non-surgical interventions, highlighting divergent BMI effects by intervention type.
Key Takeaways
- Higher baseline fasting glucose, higher HbA1c, longer diabetes duration, and more oral antidiabetic agents reduced remission odds.
- Greater percent total weight loss increased remission odds, with BMI predicting higher remission after surgery but lower remission after non-surgical care.
- In non-surgical interventions, alcohol cessation improved remission odds while smoking and continued alcohol consumption reduced them.
