Can we truly reverse type two diabetes? Exploring the Research
The podcast discusses the possibility of reversing Type 2 diabetes by achieving and maintaining non-diabetic blood sugar levels without medication. The podcast explains the cycle of diabetes, often beginning with poor diet, lack of exercise, and resultant weight gain, and subsequent insulin resistance and overproduction. It suggests four potential methods of reversing diabetes: a low-carbohydrate diet, a very low-calorie diet, regular exercise, and bariatric surgery. Current research and studies supporting each method are discussed, along with healthcare professionals' need for an individualized approach and supervision. The video emphasized that significant lifestyle changes need to be made and monitored by healthcare professionals.
