Yes, in many cases, type 2 diabetes can be reversed by making consistent lifestyle changes. These include eating a whole-food, plant-based diet, adding healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and a high-protein diet. Regular physical activity, especially muscle-building exercises, also plays a key role. Managing stress and getting proper sleep further support this process. The overall plan should be personalized based on the patient’s phenotype (body type) and metabolic health. With the right lifestyle changes, many patients are able to stop their diabetes medicines and even insulin within a week to a month. However, full reversal of diabetes can take anywhere from 6 months to 24 months, depending on the individual's metabolic health and biochemical condition.
