The thing is, Type 2 is not even a disease. Its just an imbalance of glucose. So there is really nothing to cure, its just about bringing back your blood glucose levels in balance so that the liver and pancreas can begin to function correctly again.

Of course there could be irreversible damage to those organs and that would be really bad (Several relatives who died of this).

But you are partly right. There can be remission and back to normal with lifestyle changes and Type 2. Substantial studies and clinical evidence shows this.




Type-2 diabetes is characterized more by insulin resistance than by an imbalance of glucose. And glucose isn't really something you "balance" in relation to another substance anyway. In order to be metabolically healthy you have to keep glucose levels in the appropriate range, and that will generally prevent the onset of insulin resistance.
