abstract = {Establishing remission as a clinical goal for carefully selected patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) represents a fundamental shift from the traditional paradigm of lifelong disease management. Short disease duration, preserved C-peptide levels, and overweight or obesity are the central criteria for T2DM remission. T2DM remission may help reduce the psychological burden on patients, improve quality of life, delay disease progression, and reduce the risk of long-term complications. This consensus aims to help physicians establish standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment protocols for T2DM remission in overweight or obese patients with T2DM, and support related research to develop safer and more effective interventions. Notably, T2DM remission is conditional, reversible and population-selective, which is not universally applicable to all T2DM patients across different disease stages and healthcare settings.},
