Reversing type 2 diabetes involves significant lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medical interventions. Here are some key steps:

  • Diet: Adopt a healthy, balanced diet rich in whole foods, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Reduce intake of refined sugars and processed foods.
  • Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, cycling, or strength training, for at least 150 minutes per week.
  • Weight Loss: Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels.
  • Medication: Follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding medications or insulin therapy.
  • Monitoring: Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels to track progress and make necessary adjustments.

While some people can achieve remission, it's important to work closely with your healthcare team to ensure a safe and effective approach.
