Can Type II Diabetes be reversed through changes to diet and lifestyle?

Losing 5% to 10% of your body weight and building up to 150 minutes of exercise a week may help you to slow or stop the progress of type 2 diabetes. In one study, people with type 2 diabetes exercised for 175 minutes a week, limited their calories to 1,200 to 1,800 per day and got weekly counseling and education on these lifestyle changes.

Within a year, about 10% got off their diabetes medications or improved to the point where their blood sugar level was no longer in the diabetes range and was instead classified as prediabetes.

Results were best for those who lost the most weight or who started the program with less severe or newly diagnosed diabetes. Fifteen percent to 20% of these people were able to stop taking their diabetes medications.

So we can say that type II diabetes can be reversed through diet and healthy lifestyle.

If you are already diagnosed with Diabetes it can only be maintained and not cured! If you are not quite there yet and just prediabetic then yes, diet and exercise can bring you back on the right track. In fact, when a provider is telling a patient they are prediabetic and at risk for diabetes, educating them on lifestyle changes (diet/exercise) is the first line of defense before it gets to the medications.

That doesn't mean once you get it, diet and exercise won't do anything. It definitely helps you in controlling that blood sugar level and will help prevent horrible complications that can come with diabetes. At the end of the day, you want to live a good quality life.

There are a few people who were morbidly obese who, when they lost a lot of weight (100 lbs) lost the symptoms of diabetes. For the rest of us, type 2 diabetes is not reversible. All you can do is to keep it under control through diet and exercise.

Sometimes but not always. Not everyone who gets diabetes has a bad diet or lifestyle, their cells just begin not to function correctly anymore.

Once we get type 2 diabetes we have it for life but can control it with healthy eating and exercse and medication

The following experts seem to think so: Dean Ornish, Neal Barnard, Caldwell Esselstyn, John McDougall, and so does NutritionFacts.org. Here is a video: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diabetes-reversal-...
