Thanks for all your replies.. This is all new to me, its really confusing the hell out of me lol I am taking it all in though and following links thanks.

i didnt have diabetes, i dont know how bad it is yet but i had my bloods taken last week routine check up and they all came back high, they said i could reverse the diabetes and nothing else just more blood tests.

i have been exercising but not regular recently due to a back injury,(bloody back is gonna be the death of me at this rate, thats how i ended up gaining weight ) im just getting back into it.. with walking and yoga. Been refered to physio too now.

If you are pre diabetic then yes you can reverse it by your diet and exercise. Walk at least 30 min a day can help a lot. BUT if your are DIABETIC, you are Diabetic. There is NO reverse. There is only control. And control comes in all sorts of stages.

You are incorrect.

Type 1 diabetes cannot be reversed.

Type 2 diabetes can absolutely be reversed.

Actually no Type 2 can NOT be cured/reversed in the sense you will no longer have it.... Once you are Diabetic, then you are a Diabetic for life, you can reverse the effects of the disease and prolong the progression of the symptoms and the disease itself but you can never just simple get rid of it....

That's not true.

Type 2 diabetes can go into remission (no signs or symptoms).

A risk a relapse remains high, of course, that is why weight control, exercise and diet need to be rigid.

There are two kinds of remission:

1) "Complete remission" is 1 year or more of normal A1c and fasting glucose levels without using diabetes medication.

2) "Prolonged remission" is 5 years or more of normal A1c and blood sugar levels without using diabetes medication.

Remission doesn't mean you are cured...... It simple means you have been able to control the disease if at anytime you fail to continue to do the things you had been doing to reverse the affects then it will return..... When a person become a full blown diabetic they have burnt up more than half of the receptors that control insulin regulation in their body, the goal at that point is to reverse the effects of the disease to gain control and protect the remaining receptor you have left, for without them, eventually you will have to regulate through insulin injections. There is no cure for Diabetes period.......

I never said there was a cure. I was in nursing school. I have studied this inside and out.

I also have insulin resistance and hypoglycemia so I know from personal experience.
