Answered by Dr. Emily Carter, MD 🩺

Diabetes is a chronic condition, and while it cannot be completely cured, it can be effectively managed and, in some cases, put into remission. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Type 1 Diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin. It cannot be cured, but it can be managed with insulin therapy, diet, and lifestyle changes.
  • Type 2 Diabetes: This is often linked to lifestyle factors. While it cannot be cured, it can sometimes be put into remission through significant weight loss, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and medication.
  • Prediabetes: This is a reversible condition. With lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, healthy eating, and increased physical activity, you can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized plan tailored to your specific condition.
