im confused. Nothing lowers your chances than not using glucose lowering drugs .
Are you saying just doing low carb no meds is best ?
Diabetes are a million diseases so for every individual it could be different, but in general I suspect so if you include exercise as well.
This isn’t quite:
”Nothing increases your chance for remission more than not using glucose lowering drugs and this isn’t from some obscure ”
The link between lack of GLT and remission may well be due to lower hba1c at diagnosis, which increases the chances of remission.
But not by so much:
HbA1c <48 mmol/mol at diagnosis (OR 1.31)
no previous history of GLT (OR 14.6)
As you noticed the authors already started the chicken and egg discussion themselves, I very much like it you actually read the paper (almost nobody ever does). With an odds ratio that big I assume no GLT is an independent factor that decreases the risk of remission.
