Reversing diabetes

Can You Reverse Diabetes?

Great question — and the answer is yes, for some people. But let's be clear about what "reversing" actually means.

The word reverse means to change direction — like backing a car out of a driveway. Reversing diabetes means changing the direction your diabetes is heading, parking it in remission.

Remission is not a cure — but it is a remarkable achievement.

The criteria for diabetes remission are:

• Weight is within a healthy range for your height
• All diabetes medications have been ceased
• HbA1c (your 3-monthly blood glucose test) is below 6% — the non-diabetes range

People most likely to achieve full remission are those who are early in their diagnosis and have significant weight to lose. But even getting close counts — achieving any of these three goals means you will live longer and feel better.

You don't have to reverse diabetes to win. Every step in the right direction is a victory worth celebrating.
