Type 2 diabetes can often be managed and sometimes reversed through lifestyle changes and medical interventions. Here are some key strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, such as 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 recommendations for medications, including insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents.
  • Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress and make necessary adjustments.

While some people may achieve remission, it's important to continue monitoring and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent recurrence.
