Introduction & Objective: Remission is an emerging therapeutic target in type 2 diabetes. The aim was to evaluate the effect on type 2 diabetes remission of a short-term intensive metabolic intervention consisting of frequent diet, exercise and diabetes management coaching, together with metformin and fixed-ratio insulin degludec/liraglutide.Methods: In a multicenter open-label randomized controlled trial, insulin-naïve participants within 5 years of diabetes diagnosis were assigned to a 16-week remission intervention regimen or standard care and were followed for relapse of diabetes and sustained remission for an additional year after stopping glucose-lowering drugs.Results: A total of 159 participants aged 57 ± 10 years, with diabetes duration 2.6 ± 1.5 years, BMI 33.5 ± 6.5 kg/m2 and A1C 7.0 ± 0.5 % were randomized (79 intervention, 80 control) and analyzed. At the end of the 16-week intervention period, compared to controls, intervention participants achieved lower A1C (5.8 ± 0.4% vs 6.8 ± 0.6%; p <0.0001), and lost more weight (3.3 ± 4.4% vs 1.9 ± 3.0%; p=0.02). There was a lower hazard of diabetes relapse overall in the intervention group compared to controls (HR 0.63; 95%CI 0.45, 0.88; p=0.007) but this was not sustained over time. Remission rates in the intervention group were not significantly higher at 12 weeks (17.7% vs 12.5%; RR 1.42, 95%CI 0.67, 3.00; p=0.36) or 52 weeks (6.3% vs 3.8%; RR 1.69, 95%CI 0.42, 6.82) following the intervention period.Conclusion: An intensive remission-induction intervention including fixed-ratio insulin degludec/liraglutide reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes relapse without sustained remission.DisclosureZ.
