Can I Get Rid Of (reverse, cure…) My Diabetes?

September 8, 2020 By Toby Smithson

Maybe the most common question I get from patients is “how can I get rid of my diabetes?” Well, in spite of what you may see in ads for supplements or in promises of fad diets the answer is almost certainly “NO.” But, so what? The real question is can you manage diabetes to preserve your long term health? That answer is YES!
