Type 2 diabetes is an impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar (glucose) as a fuel. This long-term (chronic) condition results in too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream. Eventually, high blood sugar levels can lead to disorders of the circulatory, nervous, and immune systems.

In 2017, approximately 462 million individuals were affected by type 2 diabetes corresponding to 6.28% of the world's population (4.4% of those aged 15–49 years, 15% of those aged 50–69, and 22% of those aged 70+), or a prevalence rate of 6059 cases per 100,000.

Although there is no cure for type 2 diabetes, studies show that it is possible for most people to reverse it. Through the change in your lifestyle, you can reach and maintain normal blood sugar levels without medication.

When you have type 2 diabetes, cells that help your body control your blood sugar stop working right. Doctors used to think they were shut down for good, but research shows that certain cells may come back helping the pancreas that release insulin and control blood sugar start working again.

How to reverse type 2 diabetes naturally

1. Commitment to exercise has allowed a number of people to successfully reverse their type 2 diabetes. Exercise helps the body to become more sensitive to its insulin. In combination with a healthy diet, exercise can reduce the demand for insulin in the body and therefore help reverse diabetes.

2. A healthy diet for people with type 2 diabetes includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes(lentils, soy, chickpeas, green peas), lean meats, and low-fat dairy. Focus on eating fruits and non-starchy vegetables, like broccoli, carrots, and lettuce, and having smaller portions of starchy foods, meat, and dairy products. Eat only unprocessed food, possibly home-cooked for it, eat lots of fiber and only whole grains.
