Is diabetes reversible?

The reversibility of diabetes depends on the type and stage of the condition:

• Type 1 Diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin. It is not reversible, but it can be managed with insulin therapy, diet, and lifestyle changes.
• Type 2 Diabetes: In some cases, Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed or put into remission, especially in the early stages. This is often achieved through significant lifestyle changes such as:
  • Weight loss
  • Healthy eating
  • Regular physical activity
  • Medication (if prescribed)
• Prediabetes: This condition is reversible with lifestyle changes, as it indicates higher-than-normal blood sugar levels but not yet in the diabetic range.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for a personalized plan.
