Comparing baseline data for a cohort of 186 people with T2D who chose a low-carbohydrate diet segregated into: (1) the group who go on to achieve remission; (2) the group who do not achieve remission

Baseline metric	Remission group n=94 on the diet for a mean(SD) of 35 (31) months Median (IQR)	Non-remission group n=92 on the diet for a mean(SD) of 31 (23) months Median (IQR)	P value
