Type 2 diabetes can be managed and, in some cases, put into remission through proper diet and exercise, regardless of age. Here are some key points:

  • Weight Management: Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can significantly improve blood sugar control and potentially lead to remission of type 2 diabetes.
  • Diet: A balanced diet rich in whole foods, such as vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains, and low in refined sugars and processed foods, can help manage blood sugar levels.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity, including both aerobic exercises (like walking, running, or cycling) and strength training, can improve insulin sensitivity and help control blood sugar.
  • Consistency: Long-term commitment to a healthy lifestyle is crucial for managing diabetes and maintaining remission.
  • Medical Supervision: It's important to work with healthcare providers to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as needed.
