Type 2 diabetes can often be managed effectively, and in some cases, significant improvements in blood sugar levels can be achieved, which may be referred to as 'reversal' or 'remission.' Here are some key strategies:

  • Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and weight loss can significantly improve blood sugar control.
  • Medication: Some medications can help manage blood sugar levels and may contribute to remission.
  • Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and A1C tests can help track progress.

While some people may achieve normal blood sugar levels without medication, it's important to continue monitoring and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent the return of high blood sugar levels. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
