So many claims are made that a patient with Diabetes can reverse or cure Diabetes.
Answer – In some—Yes , In many – No
YES – if a patient with diabetes is obese or overweight and duration of diabetes is not much , then by following healthy, low carbohydrate diet, exercising and loosing excess body weight, he/she can become diabetes free (in some cases, not all). Whether this diabetes free period will last or not depends on various factors like family history / type of diabetes / lifestyle etc.
NO- if a patient with diabetes has long standing diabetes / strong family history of diabetes or has some particular types of Diabetes. In such case, it is unlikely that he/she will be free of diabetes.
