+- Complete remission without drugs was only 6.7% among completers, and 4.7% ITT (Table 1).
+- 45% of the participants started GLP1 agonists and another 10% increased their dosage (Fig. 3A).
+- Hba1c essentially returned to baseline despite subjects maintaining 50% of weight loss.

+	- Difficult to make inferences about insulin sensitivity either way.
+- LDL was changed by 4.6 mg/dL, which is about half as much as is expected from going from the lowest to highest cholesterol intake.
+	- Not sure why we care about HDL, TG, or ApoA-1.
