Question: My 45 year-old husband with type 2 diabetes a few months ago. Is it true that you can reverse diabetes?
Answer: Once you are diagnosed with diabetes it cannot be reversed. However, diabetes can be controlled. Making lifestyle changes, such as diet, can help to keep blood sugar within normal ranges. Speaking with a Registered Dietitian can help you to learn what diet changes can be made.
If blood sugar is maintained within normal range through lifestyle changes this does not mean you have reversed your diabetes. It means you have done an excellent job at managing your diabetes. Blood sugar can still rise out of normal range if healthy lifestyle changes are not maintained. Following a carbohydrate controlled diet, exercising, monitoring your blood sugar, taking prescribed medications, and following up with your doctor are the best ways to work toward controlling your diabetes.
