The goal of this clinical trial is to achieve diabetes type 2 (DM2) remission using intensive lifestyle intervention.

Participants in the experimental group will: * eat Mediterranean diet with a caloric deficit * perform daily physical activity * increase their stress resilience with psychosocial support of the group * enroll weekly in individual and group counseling and workshops for 6 months, following with 1.5 years of follow-up
