There’s no permanent cure for type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but type 2 diabetes can be reversed with a few changes.
Diabetes UK explains: “There’s evidence that some people with type 2 diabetes can put their diabetes into remission by losing weight.
“Following a very low-calorie diet under medical supervision, or having surgery are some ways you can put your type 2 diabetes into remission.”
Other lifestyle or medical changes such as moving more, eating a healthy and balanced diet, or taking metformin or insulin will also help.
If you have type 1 diabetes, insulin pumps and pens or islet cell transplants are the best treatments, according to Diabetes UK.
