Diabetes management depends on the type of diabetes:

  • Type 1 Diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin. It cannot be cured, but it can be managed with insulin therapy, diet, and lifestyle changes.
  • Type 2 Diabetes: This is often linked to lifestyle factors. While it cannot be fully cured, it can go into remission. Remission means blood sugar levels are within a normal range without the need for diabetes medication. This can be achieved through significant weight loss, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.
  • Prediabetes: This is a reversible condition. With lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, healthy eating, and increased physical activity, you can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized plan.
