Researchers assessed whether diabetes remission, even for a short period, reduces people’s long-term risk of cardiovascular disease.
The study shows that remission is linked with a lower risk of cardiovascular complications. This should reassure people with type 2 diabetes and clinicians that achieving remission is possible and has long-term health benefits.
The study was funded by the NIHR School for Primary Care Research;
