As rates of type 2 diabetes continue to rise among adults and even younger populations, researchers and clinicians are highlighting a hopeful message: symptoms can be reversed and controlled through meaningful lifestyle changes. According to a report by The Mirror, experts from the Yale School of Medicine say reversing insulin resistance is the key to improving type 2 diabetes outcomes.
Patricia Peter, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine, emphasized in the Mirror report that most individuals can improve their condition through sustainable changes. She noted that reaching a healthy weight, reducing excessive carbohydrates and sugars, and exercising consistently are fundamental steps.
Reversing Insulin Resistance at the Core
Gerald I. Shulman, MD, PhD, told Yale School of Medicine that reversing diabetes begins with improving how the body responds to insulin. For many patients, this means focusing on weight reduction and metabolic health. A landmark study referenced in the report shows that losing as little as 10 percent of body weight can significantly reverse insulin resistance and improve blood sugar control.Patricia Peter, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine, emphasized in the Mirror report that most individuals can improve their condition through sustainable changes.
