Significant weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery or medically can result in diabetes remission. Diabetes remission is more likely to occur in those who are younger, have shorter duration of disease, and are on fewer diabetes medications. The impact of using a low energy formula-based diet in combination with physical activity on T2...

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are a serious health challenge. Obesity and metabolic disorders are associated with cardiovascular risk. Several studies have suggested that low vitamin D status contributes to insulin resistance. This study aimed to explore vitamin D and its relationship with cardio-metabolic risk factors in those with early T2DM.Methods: Early T2DM subjects (N=139) with early T2DM, ≤ 3 years, were...

Introduction: T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus) appears to worsen the course of NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) and NAFLD can make diabetes management more challenging. Long-term, NAFLD can lead to liver fibrosis, steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease. This study aimed to examine factors associated with NAFLD measures in early T2DM.Methods: Subjects (n=144) with early T2DM (<=3 years) and obesity (BMI>=27 kg/m<s...
