Is diabetes permanent?

Diabetes can be managed, but whether it is permanent depends on the type:

• Type 1 Diabetes: This is a lifelong condition where the body does not produce insulin. It requires continuous management with insulin therapy, diet, and lifestyle adjustments.
• Type 2 Diabetes: This type can sometimes be reversed or put into remission through significant lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, healthy eating, and regular exercise. However, it often requires ongoing management.
• Prediabetes: This is a reversible condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Lifestyle changes can often prevent progression to Type 2 diabetes.
