“Will my diabetes go away if I start eating right?”
I'm 32 years old and I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, purely because of my weight and my diet. I want to start making life changes like eating healthy, for example. If I eat well, will my diabetes eventually go away?

Yes
Low-carb diet, regular exercise, and weight loss can improve or reverse diabetes. Depends on how much weight you lose, how good your diet and calorie control is, and what your pancreatic function is as far as secreting its own insulin.
Many people can control their diabetes with diet and really making lifestyle changes. You need education, a plan and stick to it everyday.
No, but it will be a lot easier to control.
Diabetes is an inherited disorder that has environmental triggers. The genetic part was there from conception & can never go away. The environmental factor can be changed. I presume you have Type 2 diabetes & here the environmental factors can be changed & the diabetes better & easier to control. Diet & exercise are 2 of the factors that can be changed. If diet is bad & exercise little you will put on weight. Being overwt. causes your body to resist the action of your insulin & puts a strain on the insulin producing mechanism. If the problem persists the pancreas eventually is overwhelmed & the cells begin to die & the diabetes gets worse. So if you can get on a proper diet & exercise plan & lose wt. the insulin resistance will decrease & the strain on the insulin cells of the pancreas will reduce & you'll get better. But if you slip-back, remember that the genetic factors never go away so the diabetes will come back. Good luck!
