Can you reverse type 2 diabetes?

Here is a question I recently received from someone with Type 2 Diabetes:

Q. Can you reverse diabetes? My husband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few months ago.

A. No, type 2 diabetes cannot be reversed, but complications can be minimized with good blood sugar control. There are many things you can do to control blood sugar.

• Eating right to support blood sugar control and a healthy body weight. This includes reading food labels, spreading carbohydrates evenly throughout the day, and reducing fat.
• Exercise for overall health and improved insulin sensitivity. Set aside time to exercise everyday.
• Weight loss if overweight. Current research indicates a 5-10% weight loss can help with tighter blood sugar control.
• Testing blood sugar and taking medications as needed.

The good news is that people can take control of their diabetes by eating right, exercising on a regular basis, and testing blood sugar. Good blood sugar control starts with you!
