Weight Loss Did Not Reset One Diabetes-Risk Cluster
People in T?bingen risk cluster 5 lost about eight percent of body weight yet retained worsening glucose control and high diabetes risk.
Summary
People in T?bingen risk cluster 5 lost about eight percent of body weight yet retained worsening glucose control and high diabetes risk.
Long-term follow-up found that participants in this high-risk metabolic subgroup continued to lose insulin-producing capacity despite durable weight loss. The Diabetes study argues for risk-specific prevention rather than treating the scale as the only endpoint; the result does not negate lifestyle benefits for most people.
