Reversing diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, involves significant lifestyle changes and medical interventions. Here are some key steps:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a diet rich in whole foods, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking or cycling.
  • Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels.
  • Medication: Follow your healthcare provider's advice on medications, including insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents.
  • Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.

While some people may achieve remission, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for a personalized plan.
