Reversing diabetes is a complex process and depends on several factors, including the type of diabetes, lifestyle changes, and adherence to treatment plans. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Type 2 Diabetes: While it may not be fully reversible, significant lifestyle changes such as weight loss, healthy eating, and regular exercise can help manage or even put diabetes into remission. This process can take months to years, depending on the individual.
  • Type 1 Diabetes: This type is not reversible as it is an autoimmune condition. However, proper management with insulin therapy and lifestyle changes can help control blood sugar levels effectively.

It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized plan and realistic expectations.
