Does Type 2 Diabetes ever disappear with treatment?
I don’t know if “disappear” is the correct term to use here. Type II diabetes is ordinarily associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Insulin levels are actually normal or increased. A patient who loses weight to a normal level and who eats well and exercises may eliminate the need for diabetic medications. This is not really the same as a cure, though, more of a means to control the problem. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult for obese people to lose even modest amounts of weight, and many diabetic medicines lead to a gain in weight.
