Diabetes remission
Gain control over your diabetes and protect your future with the UK’s most trusted diabetes clinic
Type 2 diabetes often requires lifelong diabetes medication and has serious implications for your health and longevity. However, for many people with diabetes, changes to diet and lifestyle can return blood sugar levels to the normal range. The expert professionals at The London Diabetes Centre can help you put your type 2 diabetes into remission so that you can stop taking medication and safeguard your future.
Being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is frightening. The consequences for health, finances and quality of life can seem worrying. At this stressful time, The London Diabetes Centre can offer cutting-edge treatment, education and the support you need to gain control over your condition.
Achieving diabetes remission
Your diabetes is said to be in remission when the blood sugar stays at a healthy level, without the need for diabetes medication. Remission means that diabetes can return, with increasing weight or illness or time. There is evidence that (Omit) remission of type 2 diabetes, lasting for about 2 years, can be achieved for many people living with the condition. In people who are overweight, sustained weight loss of around 15 kg can restore blood glucose to below diabetic levels, reduce the risk of developing complications and improve life expectancy. Not everyone is suitable for this treatment but if you are overweight and not hormone deficient, it is an option. Techniques using endoscopy and duodenal mucosa resurfacing are now also available at The London Diabetes Centre with the need for repeat treatments every 2 years.
