Introduction<\/h2>\n

The <\/span>2016 WHO report on diabetes<\/span><\/a> was the first time a section on diabetes reversal was mentioned and how it could be achieved through various therapeutic measures. The thought of being able to reverse diabetes sounds very exciting for people with diabetes. <\/span><\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the catch- diabetes reversal is not as straightforward as it seems. Infact, diabetes reversal is not a standardised area of practice even today.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we speak about diabetes reversal, here\u2019s another phrase you must acquaint yourself with- diabetes remission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have looked up diabetes cures online, the chances of coming across diabetes remission and reversal are high. Are you confused about remission vs reversal? <\/span><\/p>\n

Diabetes Reversal and Remission: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/b><\/h2>\n

When we talk about remission and reversal, we are referring to type 2 diabetes. It is important to understand that type 1 diabetes ( juvenile diabetes) cannot be reversed or sent into remission.<\/span><\/p>\n

Type 2 diabetes is considered a chronic (long-term) metabolic condition.<\/a> While the first line of treatment for most individuals with type 2 diabetes is medication and lifestyle modifications, there are several studies by global organisations like the WHO and Diabetes UK that speak about diabetes remission and reversal (for a specific period of time).<\/span><\/p>\n
