NCT ID NCT04663061
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether a high-intensity medical weight loss program, supported by a digital platform and continuous glucose monitors, could help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight and achieve remission. 64 participants were enrolled and compared to a group receiving standard diabetes education. The goal was 15% weight loss and an A1c below 6.5% without diabetes medications.

- Active substance
- intensive medical weight loss program (diet, exercise, counseling) plus continuous glucose monitoring and digital support
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a scalable way to help many people with type 2 diabetes achieve remission without long-term medication.
