نبذة مختصرة : Therapeutic Area: Diabetes, Lifestyle Interventions Background: Different intensive lifestyle interventions have been shown to be useful for effective control and even reversal of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: The Montreal Heart Institute Cardiovascular Prevention Center (EPIC) started a comprehensive lifestyle clinic to study the impact of 6 and 12-month non-pharmacological interventions on metabolic health and remission of these two conditions.Between January 2019 and December 2020, 81 prediabetic (HbA1c ≥ 5.7%) and 184 T2D (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%) were recruited. All participants received regular nutritional counselling (therapeutic moderate carbohydrate restriction Mediterranean diet) and personalized physical exercise prescription (≥30 minutes of moderate aerobic training, 5 times a week, and strength training). Anthropometric measures and fasting blood analysis were measured at 0, 3, 6 and 12 months. Glucose-lowering therapies were not modified, unless necessary.Complete remission of prediabetes and T2D was defined as HbA1c
