Reversing diabetes is a very hot topic.  There are a lot of health regimens and products that claim to reduce the need for medication or insulin.  Weight reduction and exercise are also found to be extremely helpful.  I do not see this as “reversing diabetes.”  If the blood sugar readings are reduced, the need for medication may be reduced, but that does not restore the function of damaged cells.  It does reduce the risk of further damage to heart, brain, eyes, and nerve tissue due to the high blood sugar readings.   Make sure you continue to check blood sugar levels and be sensitive to other symptoms.
