POSSIBLE REMISSION OF TYPE 2 DIABETES
November 29, 2023
New studies show remission is possible for some persons with type 2 diabetes.
Normal blood glucose levels without diabetes medications over a process that can take eight months or more.
Helpful actions include: bariatric surgery, low calorie diet, large increase in exercise or physical activity (240 – 420 minutes five times/week).
A structured program is needed for diet change, weight loss and physical activity along with time and commitment and often has to be maintained.
Diabetes medications may be stopped, though medications for cholesterol or to protect the heart and kidney may still be required.
Talk to your health care provider about your possibilities.
