Even with treatment, diabetes never ‘goes away’. With treatment and weight loss, it is possible, though, for your symptoms to go into remission if you have type 2 diabetes. Diabetes treatment is mostly used to help to make the symptoms of diabetes easier to live with, and to help to prevent future complications from happening.
Also, even if you use your prescribed medications exactly as you’ve been told to by your doctor, your diabetes needs will probably continue to change over time.
Untreated diabetes will often lead to more serious problems. So it’s essential that if you have diabetes, you continue to use your treatment as instructed, as well as making the suggested lifestyle changes. This will give you the best chance of living a long and healthy life with diabetes.
