Exploring Diabetes Type 2 Remission in Japan with Real-World Data

A recently published study in Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism explored the rates of remission for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Japan. The study, which used real-world data (RWD) from 48,320 patients, found that out the incidence of remission was 10.5 per 1,000 person-years. These rates are similar to those found in a similar study in the UK.

According to Niigata University, “In another arm of the study, the investigators revealed the factors that predicted relapse from remission in 1 year. Among 3,677 individuals who entered remission, two-thirds (2,490) relapsed from remission within 1 year. Longer duration of diabetes, lower BMI at baseline, and lower BMI reduction at 1 year were significantly associated with relapse.”
