Glucose evaluation trial for remission (GETREM) in type 1 diabetes: a European multicentre study

Remission was shown to be very heterogeneous between centres depending on 'other factors' such as patient care and family awareness of the disease rather than on 'measurable factors' such as sex, age, HbA1c and severity of presentation at diagnosis. Using intensive insulin therapy and optimisation of metabolic control, remission occurred in nearly one out of eight patients.
