Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition, but it can be managed effectively, and in some cases, symptoms can be reversed. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Remission: Some people with type 2 diabetes can achieve remission, where blood sugar levels return to normal without the need for diabetes medication. This is often achieved through significant lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.
  • Management: Even if remission is achieved, ongoing monitoring and healthy habits are essential to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
  • Not a Cure: While symptoms may improve or disappear, the underlying condition remains, and blood sugar levels can rise again if healthy habits are not maintained.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring.
