“Can a healthy diet reverse type 2 diabetes?”

Yes if you also have a lot of weight to lose. Then healthy low carbohydrate and low calorie diet will help lose weight and resolve diabetes. But some people still need medications initially that can later be stopped by appropriate health care professional

That depends. Do you know that if one obtains a gastric bypass, 75% of the time the diabetes disappears. I have had many examples of patients who enter the hospital and with the controlled diet the diabetes disappears. So if one can follow a very low calorie diet, (only 3% can) the diabetes can disappear. If one is a normal weight, it is rare when the diabetes disappears. If the diabetes has been present for a long time, then it is rare for a low calorie diet to control the diabetes without medication. Best wishes, Dr. Norwood

Yes. But you need to work with your doctor because if you are taking medicines they need to monitor if they should decrease it in order to prevent low sugars. They also need to make sure you are not insulin dependent (if you had type 2 diabetes for a long time you may be insulin dependent).
