No!
Type 2 Diabetes is Reversible [1-5].
In fact, 86% of people with Type 2 Diabetes who lost more than 15 kg or 33 pounds at one year were in remission and the odds of attaining remission was directly related to the degree of weight lost [1].
Are these results easy?
No.
Can My Fit Foods make them easier?
Absolutely.
Does this kind of life-changing work take consistent effort now and in the future?
You bet. The work never really stops.
But, is it possible to reverse Type 2 Diabetes with significant weight loss and lifestyle interventions?
YES. Yes it is!

Check out this amazing effort with My Fit Foods and 15 pounds of weight loss.
“I'd have to start with how bad I was feeling from fast foods, Dr. Pepper and ice cream everyday for about 6 months. Glucose became high over 400 and HbA1c 12.5, also high.
Friends who know I hate to cook suggested My Fit Foods. I started randomly then my consultant made it interesting and scientifically pertinent.
After 4 months of consistently eating the meals planned specifically for metabolic efficiency and using insulin till my HbA1c reduced to 5.8, then I was able to stop insulin. I started to have less muscle heaviness, aches and pains, more energy and better restful sleep! There's a noticeable difference in my overall health and sense of well-being.”
