15% drop in body weight can lead to diabetes remission

People living with type-2 diabetes and obesity can reverse or put their diabetes into remission if they lose 15% of their body weight.

This even applies to the people who are on insulin and have poor diabetes control, according to the Irish Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (IrSPEN).

IrSPEN made its comments based on findings from a number of studies published in advance of European Obesity Day on Saturday.
