Can you really reverse diabetes? The science behind it

from The Balanced Body Podcast Hosted by Helena McDonald

Can you actually reverse diabetes ... or is that just clickbait? A new study caught my eye recently, and the results were honestly too good not to share. It looked at whether people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes could reach remission through realistic diet and lifestyle changes (not shakes or super low calorie diets - actual food). In this episode, I'm breaking down what the study found, what "reversal" really means, and the key lifestyle changes that make this possible. We'll cover: What remission actually is The ideal diet for balanced blood sugar (spoiler it's not low carb) How over 75% of participants reversed their prediabetes and diabetes, and lost almost 20kg in 12 months Practical takeaways for you to implement Tune in to learn how small, consistent changes can completely transform your health and change your life. Let this episode be your sign to stop putting it off, and start making real change today!
