Full description

Diabetes remission is an important issue which has not been well studied. Some studies showed that bariatric surgery and intensive lifestyle intervention could lead to remission in diabetic patients. Our present study aims to assess the effect of dapagliflozin add-on intensive lifestyle intervention on remission of type 2 diabetes in obese patients with type 2 diabetes. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The study consists of a 12-months treatment period (in which subjects will receive either dapagliflozin plus intensive lifestyle intervention or placebo plus intensive lifestyle intervention in addition to the background therapy), and a 2-month follow-up period after treatment period.
