Type 2 diabetes is a leading contributor to chronic disease burden, yet remission is increasingly achievable with targeted, evidence-based interventions. Supporting patients to reverse insulin resistance and improve glycemic control can significantly reduce complications and enhance quality of life.
This webinar focused on the emerging role of lifestyle medicine in achieving diabetes remission, highlighting how virtual care programs can support sustainable behaviour change. Participants were introduced to the five subtypes of type 2 diabetes and their implications for remission potential, enabling a more personalized approach to care. The session was delivered by Dr. Brendan Byrne, Chief Medical Officer at LifestyleRx, and moderated by Dr. Rose Yeung, Senior Medical Director at PLP Edmonton.
