Can Sugar Diabetes Go Away?

Can Your Sugar Diabetes Just Go Away?

Even though the official medical term is “Type 2 Diabetes,” many people call this disease “sugar diabetes.” 

I know that this is what my grandfather and uncles called it when they were still alive. 

It makes sense, doesn’t it?  This is a disease of the cells becoming unable to process the amount of sugar in our bloodstream. 

People with type 2 diabetes are more likely to get it if they are older than 40 or are at a heavier weight. Some might get this type of diabetes if they have a family history of the disease or have somehow developed insulin resistance. This is most often due to the types of food that we choose, and can be worse in combination with a family history of the disease.

What Causes Type 2 AKA “Sugar Diabetes” and Can It Go Away?

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition when the body is not functioning properly because of the abnormal insulin production, and our cells become resistant to this. 

Insulin is the hormone responsible for converting blood sugar into energy. Type 2 Diabetes can also lead to serious health complications. Many people diagnosed with this condition are constantly looking for the best ways to cure or manage what they call “sugar diabetes.” 

If you’re diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, or you’re worried about the condition, it’s important to learn whether “sugar diabetes” can go away. 

Two things that can affect whether your Type 2, AKA “sugar” Diabetes goes away:

  1. The severity of diabetes and 
  2. how well you control your blood sugar levels. 

In some cases, Type 2, AKA “sugar” Diabetes may go away with interventions, but it’s more likely that it will need lifelong management.

 

Can Type 2 Diabetes, AKA “Sugar” Diabetes, Be Reversed or Go Into Remission? 

Type 2 diabetes can be treated, and people can get their blood sugar levels back to normal through consistent effort and sometimes with medications. When Type 2 diabetics lose a large amount of weight, they may be able to achieve remission. This means their diabetes symptoms could go away, and they may no longer need medication.

But, this does not mean that sugar diabetes will go away permanently. Even though the person may no longer have high blood sugar levels, they will still be vulnerable to diabetes and its complications. Lifelong management of sugar levels and insulin function is necessary to reverse, or put into remission, Type 2 (also called “sugar” diabetes). By targeting these key areas, it may be possible to reverse this disease or at least manage it more effectively.

It’s important to work with your healthcare team to figure out what management strategy is right for you. Making small changes in your daily routine can greatly impact your overall health. Creating and following a healthy routine tailored to your individual needs is a great way to improve your wellness. It’s something that you should discuss with your doctor to ensure that you’re on the right track.

Reversing or managing Type 2 Diabetes can be a lot to take on. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone, and there are plenty of resources available to help you. Take things one step at a time, and don’t be afraid to ask for help when needed.
