The potential to reverse diabetes depends on the type and severity of the condition:

  • Type 2 Diabetes: In some cases, Type 2 diabetes can be reversed or put into remission through significant lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, a healthy diet, and regular exercise. However, this does not mean the condition is cured; it means blood sugar levels are managed without medication.
  • Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes cannot be reversed as it is an autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin. Management involves lifelong insulin therapy.

For prediabetes, lifestyle changes can often prevent progression to Type 2 diabetes.

Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
