Can I Get Rid Of Type 2 Diabetes If I Stop Eating Carbs And/or Lose A Lot Of Weight? |
|
Answer» No, but you can CONTROL it. If you have prediabetes or were just diagnosed with type 2, losing a lot of WEIGHT can put the condition into remission. Weight regain, aging, and the natural progression of type 2 diabetes can bring it back. “Not eating carbohydrate or severely restricting it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE for any length of time. It’s also not healthy, because you won’t get essential nutrients," says JOJO Dantone, RD, CDE, a diabetes program coordinator in New Orleans. No, but you can control it.
