Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that remission of type 2 diabetes can be achieved following sustained weight loss. However, the feasibility of achieving sustained diabetes remission through weight management in real-world settings and over prolonged time periods remains to be determined. In this issue, Hongjiang Wu and colleagues examine the association of weight change at 1-year after diabetes diagnosis with long-term incidence and sustainability of type 2 diabetes remission in >37,000 people living in Hong Kong.
