Can you reverse Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar in the blood to become too high.

Here are some of the main causes for type 2 Diabetes:

• Living with obesity or overweight.  

• Too much fat stored in or around your liver and pancreas – which can affect people of a healthy weight as well as people living with obesity or overweight.   

• Other factors that put you at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes include high blood pressure, age, ethnicity and family history.

So how do you reverse Type 2 Diabetes?

Being more physically active every day.

This does not have to be extreme, I am not saying get to the gym everyday, or try to do 15 exercise classes a week ,or walk 15,000 steps a day.

My advice would be to look at your daily lifestyle and how you can make small changes. It could be walking a bit further than yesterday, doing 100 more steps each day.

Start by going to the the gym once a week.

Taking up 1 class a week.

Reducing your sugar intake (if you want to know more about sugars check out my what are the benefits to reducing sugar blog)

Be mindful that there are natural sugars

Look at what type of foods you are eating and having amore healthy balanced lifestyle.
