Diabetes is a condition where blood sugar, called glucose, is too high. This study aims to see if keeping glucose levels normal can prevent diabetes from getting worse. In diabetes, the body’s β-cells that make insulin get tired. Insulin helps control blood sugar. If we keep glucose normal, we might help these cells and stop diabetes from getting worse.

In this study, adults with early type 2 diabetes will be divided into groups and given different treatments. They will have to take part in lifestyle changes and self-monitor their blood sugar. The study will last for 2.5 years, plus 3 months to see the effects of stopping the treatment.

• The study lasts for 2.5 years, checking blood sugar every 3 months.
• Participants will get lifestyle support and may receive medications to keep glucose normal.
• The study aims to reduce diabetes complications and could lower health costs.

People can join if they are 40-74 years old, have a certain blood sugar level, and haven’t had major heart problems recently. Certain health conditions, like severe heart failure or pregnancy, mean you can't join.
