Some research about this helps
I don’t have it, but a few people have mentioned it:
Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes can often be reversed, medically referred to as entering "remission". This means your blood sugar levels return to a healthy range without the need for diabetes medication.
Type 1 diabetes cannot currently be reversed, as it is an autoimmune condition.
How Reversal Works
Remission is primarily achieved through significant weight loss, often targeting the reduction of fat that builds up in the liver and pancreas. This helps your body properly produce and respond to insulin again.
Key Steps to Achieve RemissionWeight Loss: Shedding even a modest amount of weight (around 5% to 10% of total body weight) can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity. Studies show those who lose 10 to 15 kilograms have the highest rates of success.
Healthy Diet:
Focus on whole foods, including lean proteins, heart-healthy fats, and high-fiber carbohydrates, while eliminating refined grains and sugary drinks.
Exercise:
Regular physical activity (aiming for at least 30 minutes, five days a week) helps your muscles utilize glucose efficiently.
Important Considerations
It is not a cure:
Reversing diabetes does not mean it has completely gone away. Blood sugar levels can rise again, meaning you still need regular medical check-ups.
Medical Guidance:
Always consult your healthcare provider before attempting significant diet or exercise changes, or before stopping any prescribed medications.
