Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of structured lifestyle intervention to induce remission of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) among Malaysian adults. The study will also assess the feasibility of implementing this intervention within Malaysian primary and specialist care settings. The study will also examine the economic impact of the TDR intervention through a cost-effectiveness analysis conducted from a societal perspective.

Researchers will compare intensive lifestyle intervention to the usual clinical care.

It is hypothesised that Malaysian adults with T2DM who receive the structured lifestyle intervention will demonstrate a significantly higher rate of diabetes remission compared to those receiving usual care. Furthermore, participants in the intervention group are expected to achieve greater mean weight loss, with a higher proportion attaining a sustained weight loss of at least 10 kilograms, relative to the usual care group. The lifestyle intervention is also anticipated to result in superior glycaemic control, as measured by reductions in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and to be more cost-effective in achieving diabetes remission and reducing long-term healthcare utilization.
