Lifestyle Interventions For Treatment and Remission of Type 2 Diabetes and Prediabetes in Adults

Type 2 diabetes is one of the defining health challenges of our time—but a growing body of evidence shows that lifestyle interventions can not only prevent and treat it, but in many cases, lead to full remission.

In this presentation, Dr. Mahima Gulati, one of the authors of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s first clinical practice guideline, presents lifestyle-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes unveil 14 actionable, evidence-based recommendations designed for real-world clinical use.

Drawing from robust research—including 112 randomized controlled trials and over 100 systematic reviews—this session walks through key strategies clinicians can use to assess, intervene, and support patients using the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: optimal nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, connectedness, and avoidance of risky substances.

Whether you're working with newly diagnosed patients or aiming to optimize care for those at risk, this session offers timely, practical guidance from a multidisciplinary panel of experts in endocrinology, lifestyle medicine, nutrition, sleep medicine, behavioral health, and more.

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) is the medical professional society for physicians and other professionals dedicated to clinical and worksite practice of lifestyle medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable healthcare system.

Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.

Lifestyle medicine-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.
