MODULE 1B TASK
REFLECTIVE JOURNAL WRITING
Research revealed that intensive lifestyle interventions could produce remission of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes with similar success to bariatric surgery, but with substantially fewer untoward side effects. What could be the limiting factor in implementing intensive lifestyle intervention in both pre-clinical education and clinical practice? With the given limitations, what potential strategies can be proposed to address the gap.
