I have noticed that some people state that they have cured/ reversed their Type 2 with diet, weight loss and exercise as they do not use medication.
That is not my take on this chronic condition. I am controlling it but do not know if it will progress. Have posted before to see how many years people have been medication free and keeping stable blood sugars, but to date, no replies. If there was some evidence that this can be done for 20+ years then I would feel more positve about the outcome for me.
This article is an interesting viewpoint. I have always maintained that some people are diagnosed late and will need medication through no fault of their own. Some are of the opinion that diet and weight loss is all that is needed. The article states, "In other cases, patients are diagnosed so late that their blood sugar levels can't be brought back to normal even with weight loss."
It would seem that there is to be a study done on diabetics who have "kicked" their meds.
