Macro partitioning
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus can be put into remission (defined as HbA1c < 6.5% for ≥ 3 months without T2DM medications) through the use of therapeutic carbohydrate reduction and subsequent medication deprescription.
If you have Type 2 Diabetes, remission is possible. This means getting your blood sugar (HbA1c) below 6.5% for at least 3 months without taking diabetes medications. This is achieved by strictly limiting carbohydrates and working with your doctor to safely stop or reduce your diabetes drugs. It requires commitment to the diet and close monitoring.
Remission of T2DM may occur with LC diets (hemoglobin A1c < 6.5% for ≥ 3 months without T2DM medications).
Why this rating
Based on consensus statements and RCTs showing remission rates, though long-term sustainability data is still emerging.
