Our paper titled “Diabetes Remission after Nonsurgical Intensive Lifestyle Intervention in Obese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes” [1] contains an error in Table 1. The body mass index (BMI) at 12 months was incorrectly reported as 40.0 kg/m2 while the correct value is 34.0 kg/m2.
Table 1.
Changes in cardiovascular risk factors after 12 weeks of intensive lifestyle intervention and at one year in participants who achieved major glycemic improvement and partial or complete diabetes remission.
