What is diabetes reversal?

Diabetes reversal at North View Medical Clinic includes medical weight loss and other lifestyle changes that help you better regulate blood sugar and reduce your risk of medical complications. Over time, lifestyle medicine may even reverse prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

What are the benefits of diabetes reversal?

Some of the many benefits associated with diabetes reversal include a lower risk of medical problems, cost savings, and a better quality of life. Diabetes reversal means you can take lower doses of diabetes medications or no medicines at all over time.

What are the symptoms of diabetes?

If you experience the following signs or symptoms, diabetes might be to blame:

  • Increased hunger or thirst
  • More frequent urination
  • Irritability
  • Fatigue
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Blurry vision
  • Frequent infections
  • Slow-healing sores

Complications associated with untreated diabetes can include heart disease, nerve damage, eye and vision problems, and hearing impairment, as well as kidney damage, foot problems, depression, and Alzheimer’s disease.

See Dr. Torquato at the first sign of diabetes, or if you’ve been diagnosed with the disease and desire diabetes reversal.

What are the risk factors for diabetes?

While family history, age, polycystic ovary syndrome in women, and genetic factors play a role in developing Type 2 diabetes, many controllable risk factors exist. Examples include physical inactivity, being overweight or obese, poor dietary habits, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

What are common diabetes reversal treatments?

At North View Medical Clinic, Dr. Torquato can complete in-person or virtual diabetes visits. He reviews your symptoms and medical history, completes a physical exam, and reviews the results of blood sugar screening.

Dr. Torquato works with you to develop a holistic diabetes reversal treatment plan that may include the following:

  • Plant-based nutrition
  • Healthy meal plans
  • Dietary supplements
  • Exercise prescriptions
  • Medical weight loss
  • Other healthy lifestyle changes
  • Medications as needed

Recent studies also suggest lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure can actually reverse damage to the arteries in middle-aged adults with diabetes, so part of your diabetes reversal treatment might also include Dr. Torquato’s high cholesterol reversal program.

Over time, expect blood sugar control to improve. Follow up with Dr. Torquato periodically so he can evaluate blood sugar levels and your overall health. He can make changes to your medication regimen as needed to gradually reduce your dosage over time.

If you have Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, you don’t have to live with it indefinitely. See Dr. Torquato at North View Medical Clinic in person or virtually via telemedicine to achieve diabetes reversal. Call the office or use the online scheduler today.
