How can you put type 2 Diabetes into remission?

Whether you have recently received a type 2 diabetes diagnosis or have had the condition for a while, there are steps you can take to prevent the worsening of the condition and even put it into remission.  Additionally, these steps may help you avoid, reduce, or even eliminate medications.

In the past, type 2 diabetes was thought to be something that could not get better. You could only slow the rate of decline. Remission was not something talked about or hoped for. Today, things are different. Remission is possible.

 

If remission is something you would like to try, our downloadable ebooklet can help you get started! It describes what diabetes is, why it happens, and how it is diagnosed. Most importantly, it then shares the growing body of research evidence about how to improve your blood glucose levels and even put your condition into remission.
 

How? The ebooklet describes the evidence for three approaches:

​

1. A very low-calorie diet, with support from your care provider with specially formulated meal replacement products.

2. A low carbohydrate or very low carb  (ketogenic) diet.

3. Bariatric surgery.

​

Since the first two you can do at home by changing what you eat, the ebooklet focuses on the details of those two food-first approaches.

So what are you waiting for? Download and read the informative ebooklet to learn more about how you too can put your type 2 diabetes into remission.

Important Disclaimer: If you take any prescription medication for your type 2 diabetes, you must speak to your healthcare provider before trying any of the approaches described in the guide. Your blood glucose levels may drop rapidly leaving you at risk for hypoglycemia or other complications.
