Frequently Asked Questions
Can type 2 diabetes be reversed?
Some people with type 2 diabetes can achieve remission through significant lifestyle changes, particularly weight loss. We can discuss whether this is a realistic goal for your situation.
Do I need to follow a special diet?
There's no single "diabetes diet." We help you develop an eating pattern that controls blood sugar while fitting your preferences, culture, and lifestyle.
How often should I check my blood sugar?
Monitoring frequency depends on your diabetes type, treatment, and control. We'll recommend an appropriate schedule and help you interpret results.
Will I need insulin?
Not everyone with diabetes needs insulin. Treatment depends on diabetes type, how well other approaches work, and individual factors. If insulin becomes needed, we provide thorough education.
What about carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates affect blood sugar most directly, but they don't need to be eliminated. We teach carbohydrate management that allows enjoyable eating while maintaining control.
Can you help with weight loss?
Yes. Weight management is often important for diabetes control. We provide nutritional guidance, behavioral support, and medical options when appropriate.
