Can weight loss and diet reverse diabetes?
Yes
Last updated on 12 Dec 2024
The strongest evidence suggests that type 2 diabetes is mainly put into remission by weight loss. Hence, weight loss can affect diabetes management, however, it will happen in due course of time. One cannot achieve complete results in one month.
Doctors use the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test or the A1C test to diagnose prediabetes. Less often, doctors use the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which is more expensive and not as easy to give. The A1C test reflects your average blood glucose over the past 3 months.
Whether it can cure diabetes is still a doubt. But weight loss can definetely help in lowering blood sugar levels which in turn can help manage diabetes better.
Not nesscarily, consult a doctor to know if you are insulin resistant.
