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

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a diet rich in whole foods, including vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, such as brisk walking or cycling.
  • Weight Loss: Losing even a small amount of weight (5-10% of your body weight) can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels.
  • Medication: Some people may need medications like metformin or insulin to help manage blood sugar levels.
  • Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.

It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan that works for you.
