Reversing diabetes isn't possible -- but you can reverse the symptoms of diabetes. That might sound like a small difference, but it's actually an important one: diabetes, once diagnosed, will always be with you. The signs of diabetes may ease or disappear with a combination of lifestyle changes and medication or insulin... but if you were to go back to your previous lifestyle and stop taking medication, the symptoms of diabetes would re-appear. Many people with type 2 diabetes have successfully removed the need to take medication or insulin by: Making dietary changes: eating a healthy balanced diet, on a regular meal/snack schedule, with the same amounts of carbohydrates in each meal or snack to keep blood sugar levels stable throughout the day. A dietician can assist in developing an individualized diabetes eating plan. Getting regular exercise: exercise lowers blood glucose while also providing additional benefits such as improved cholesterol, lowered blood pressure, better circulation, and more. Losing weight: being overweight can lead to insulin resistance, your body's inability to use insulin properly. Even losing just 5 to 10% of your body weight can be a big boost to your health. While curing or reversing diabetes isn't currently possible, you can significantly improve your health and lower your risk of diabetes-related complications.   The information on this website is based on our own research and personal experience, and is not a substitute for medical advice.
