We all know that diabetes is an incurable disease, the “cancer that never dies”. But now some people are talking about how type 2 diabetes can be reversed! So can type 2 diabetes really be reversed? Is it possible to bring a boon to type 2 diabetics? In general, type 2 diabetes occurs after the age of 45 and is characterized by insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. type 2 diabetes is a lifelong chronic disease, which cannot be reversed on the basis of: a. type 2 diabetes is a polygenic genetic disease, the genes cannot be reversed, type 2 diabetes is the result of genetic factors and unhealthy lifestyles together, there is a family gathering phenomenon, the reason The reasons for this are, on the one hand, the genetic similarity of the family and, on the other hand, the common living habits and environment of the family. Secondly, with or without the influence of genetic factors, the sensitivity of insulin receptors decreases because of old age, obesity, less movement, etc. The receptors are not sensitive to insulin anymore, and the body must increase the secretion of insulin to achieve the original effect. If the disease history is long, the disease is serious, the pancreatic function is seriously depleted and cannot be recovered, even with active treatment, type 2 diabetes cannot be reversed. Third, irreversible does not mean that it cannot be controlled. If blood sugar is controlled to the standard, and blood lipids and blood pressure are also controlled to the standard, to avoid macrovascular and microvascular complications, patients can also live a long and healthy life. So just because type 2 diabetes is irreversible does not mean that type 2 diabetes is uncontrollable. By means of diet, exercise, medication, or surgery, some patients with type 2 diabetes may return to normal blood glucose and may even be free of medication for a long time. This can be seen as a reversal, but it is important to be clear that if we relax and stop living a healthy life, then this “reversal” may rebound and cause a “reversal” of diabetes. This means that a true reversal of type 2 diabetes is unlikely.
