Outcome measures were weight loss, medication and diabetes status. Results n = 45 Indian subjects with T2DM. Weight loss at the end of one year: >10% n = 12 (26.8%); 5–10% n = 9 (20%); 5 % n = 20 (44.4%) (p  Conclusion Intensive LSI over one year resulted in weight loss, improved glycaemic control and T2DM remission in the majority of subjects. Medication costs were reduced. Over five subsequent years, diabetes remission persisted in the majority despite modest weight regain.
