Diabetes is a chronic condition that cannot be completely cured, but it can be managed effectively. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Type 1 Diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin. It cannot be reversed, 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 cured, it can sometimes go into remission through significant lifestyle changes such as weight loss, healthy eating, and regular exercise. However, ongoing monitoring is essential.

  • Prediabetes: This is a reversible condition. With lifestyle changes, you can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized management plan.
