The main group consisted of 149 participants. At 24 months, 17 (11%) intervention participants and 3 (2%) control participants had a weight loss of at least 15 kg (p = 0.0023). Fifty-three (36%) participants in the intervention and five (3%) participants in the control group were confirmed to have diabetes in remission (p<0.0001).
In a subsequent analysis of the entire study population, from the group of participants who lost at least 10 kg (45 out of 272 participants), 29 (64%) achieved remission. Of these, 36 (24%) of the 149 participants in the intervention group lost at least 10 kg.
