Can we control diabetes without medicine?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Through diet changes and weight loss, you may be able to reach and hold normal blood sugar levels in early stages of diabetes. This doesn't mean you're completely cured. Type 2 diabetes is an ongoing disease. Treatment is very much needed.
