It's well known that weight loss and appropriate diet CAN put T2 into remission, but it's likely to come back if circumstances change.
If however, like me, you don't remember the last time you took a granchild into MacDonalds[ but she was a toddler and is now at school], and the only pizza you ever eat is made at home with the consumer grandchild. [ the other one!]
then there's no way this can work.
Nevertheless it's still possible to CONTROL T2 with diet and exercise.
