Intensive Weight-Loss Intervention Linked With Increased Chance of Partial Remission from Diabetes

Two important points.

Among overweight adults, participation in an intensive lifestyle intervention (that included counseling sessions and targets to reduce caloric intake and increase physical activity) was associated with a greater likelihood of partial remission of type 2 diabetes; however, the absolute remission rates were modest, according to a study in the December 19 issue of JAMA.

It is all about the Calories. i.e., weight loss from fewer Calories in than out.

And fat people are simply resistant to doing what it takes to make their diseases of choice "go away."

The only solution is to wean them from the "we pay for your sick care re: your illnesses of choice" teet.
