Abstract
Remission is often considered the ultimate goal in T2D management and care. Although metabolic surgery is the conventional choice to achieve remission, substantial evidence suggests the possibility of T2D remission through lifestyle interventions. In this context, the current perspective explores recent scientific advancements in lifestyle intervention for diabetes remission and also emphasises its clinical applicability as a pragmatic approach to diabetes management. The perspective further provides additional evidence on remission from the authors' own research findings in the Indian population. We propose that a holistic lifestyle intervention approach - individualised diet plan, exercise protocol, and psychological intervention – may be a benchmark protocol to achieve T2D remission.
