reversing diabetes

[Joonaspryte]

so everyone keeps telling me you can reverse diabetes, this gives them the impression that you can cure it.

I hate to sound stupid but I keep reading , “ there is no cure, but you can reverse it”

My question is, what is the difference?

And I’ve had conversations where I say, well I think I’m more prone to it then others who don’t, and certain people say, “well absolutely anyone can get it, you must just eat badly”.

In fact one person, is overweight,drinks a lot, eats chips, kebabs etc, but his blood glucose is normal.

I do eat lots of noodles, ready meals, and used to eat sweets ( but have cut down on these a lot)

I’m 5ft 1 and 11st.

I also have severe endometriosis and high blood pressure.

From what I understand, there is a gene for diabetes, if you don't have that gene, then you probably can eat what you like and not get it.

I have the gene and my numbers have crept up over the years. However, you cannot cure it if the gene is there, but you can manage your food and weight to slow it down and keep your blood sugar levels down for a while, maybe even forever if your are lucky.
