TL;DR: The findings show that, at 12 months, almost half of participants achieved remission to a non-diabetic state and off antidiabetic medications, from baseline to 12 months.

TL;DR: Sustained remission was linked to the extent of sustained weight loss, and the DiRECT programme sustained remissions at 24 months for more than a third of people with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Socioeconomic group affects not only death rates from myocardial infarction but also event rates and chance of admission, and allocation of resources for reduction of coronary mortality should take account of social class differences and the relative potential effect of hospital care and primary and secondary prevention.

TL;DR: Strategies to reduce patient delay times in this deprived urban population must focus on educating the public on the recognition and diversity of coronary symptoms and the benefits of presenting promptly to hospital by way of the emergency ambulance service.

TL;DR: The main objective of the majority of studies was to compare the efficacy and safety of drug therapy, with weight change recorded under safety outcomes; weight change was a primary outcome measure in only six studies.
