Can stopping diabetes medication lead to remission with diet and exercise?

This trial tests whether Supaglutide, an injectable medication that helps your pancreas control blood sugar better, can help some people with type 2 diabetes get into remission—meaning they no longer need diabetes drugs and can manage their condition through diet and exercise alone. Researchers will give you this medication for either 7 or 4 months, then stop it and watch carefully over the next year to see if your blood sugar stays controlled without any medication.

Type 2 diabetes is becoming more common, and while diet and exercise are important, many people need medication to control their blood sugar. This study wants to find out if the medication can help 'reset' your pancreas so that it works well enough on its own after treatment stops—something doctors have seen happen with some other treatments, but haven't studied carefully with this newer type of medication yet.
