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

  • Remission: Some people can achieve remission through significant lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, healthy eating, and regular exercise. This means blood sugar levels return to normal without the need for diabetes medication.
  • Lifestyle Changes: A healthy diet (low in refined carbs and sugars), regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight are key.
  • Medical Support: Work with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan. Medications or bariatric surgery may also help in certain cases.

While type 2 diabetes cannot always be "cured," many people can manage it so well that it no longer affects their daily lives.
