Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that typically does not go away, but it can be managed effectively with lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring. Here are some key points:

  • Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can significantly improve blood sugar control.
  • Medication: Some people may need medications or insulin therapy to manage their blood sugar levels.
  • Remission: In some cases, people with type 2 diabetes can achieve remission, where blood sugar levels return to normal without the need for medication. This is more likely with significant weight loss and lifestyle changes.

It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized management plan.
