Type 2 diabetes cannot be fully reversed, but it can be managed effectively and, in some cases, put into remission. Here are some key points:

  • Lifestyle Changes: Significant weight loss, a healthy diet, and regular exercise can help improve blood sugar levels and may lead to remission.
  • Medication: Some people may reduce or eliminate the need for diabetes medications through lifestyle changes, but this should be done under medical supervision.
  • Remission: Achieving normal blood sugar levels without medication is possible, but it requires ongoing effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
