Remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a patient with obesity and hypogonadism

Abstract

Currently, obesity is the main risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes) as a key link in the emergence of insulin resistance. Traditionally, the basic strategy for controlling type 2 diabetes is to normalize blood glucose levels by correcting lifestyle and lifelong use of oral and/or injectable hypoglycemic therapy. However, in recent years, doctors and researchers are increasingly turning to the possibility of remission of type 2 diabetes. Remission of diabetes mellitus is the preservation of normal values of glycemia with the complete abolition of hypoglycemic therapy (tablet or injection). Many studies reflect that lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, dieting and increased physical activity, contribute to the onset of remission of type 2 diabetes in a significant number of people. In this clinical case, we demonstrate the possibility of achieving remission of diabetes mellitus with a multifactorial approach to the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which causes stabilization of blood glucose levels, prevention of complications and improvement of quality of life, and thus, we exhibit new prospects in the treatment of this disease.
