Dr. Akshat Chadha, a Lifestyle Doctor at GOQii, emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach to reversing diabetes. While some individuals with prediabetes may achieve long-term reversal through lifestyle changes, those with chronic diabetes may find it challenging to sustain reduced medications. Extreme diets can lead to temporary improvements in blood reports and weight loss but may result in chronic deficiencies and other health issues. Instead, focusing on balanced meals and incorporating fasting under proper guidance can improve blood sugars and overall health. While family history plays a role in diabetes predisposition, lifestyle habits are significant factors. Early medication or insulin use may help preserve beta-cell function. Taking responsibility for one's health is essential, along with trusting medical advice.
