can you become undiabetic

While diabetes is generally considered a chronic condition, certain types of diabetes, such as type 2 diabetes, can be managed effectively, and in some cases, blood sugar levels can be brought back to normal ranges. This is often referred to as diabetes remission. Here’s how it can happen:

• Lifestyle Changes: Significant weight loss, a healthy diet, and regular physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.
• Medication: In some cases, medications or insulin therapy may help manage blood sugar levels effectively.
• Bariatric Surgery: For some individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes, bariatric surgery can lead to remission.

However, even if blood sugar levels return to normal, it’s important to continue monitoring and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, as diabetes can recur. Type 1 diabetes, on the other hand, is an autoimmune condition and currently has no cure, though it can be managed with insulin therapy.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
