A physician from BBC Morning Live has indicated that individuals might achieve diabetes remission by implementing a few straightforward changes. This concept was discussed by the late Doctor Michael Mosley after he managed to reverse his own type two diabetes, shedding a stone and a half in just 12 weeks.
Mark Lane, a frequent guest, revealed his type 2 diabetes diagnosis towards the end of the previous year, expressing "mixed emotions" upon reflection.
He shared, "My father died due to complications from diabetes; he had type 1. My brother also has type 1. Plus, I live with my husband Jason, who has type 2, so it's a daily reality for me."

When addressing the idea of being "proactive," he noted that lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise can be quite "challenging," admitting, "it's not as simple as it seems."
Diabetes is a chronic condition marked by elevated blood glucose levels. This is due to either insufficient insulin production or ineffective insulin response by the cells. Diabetes types include Type 1, with no insulin production; Type 2, often related to lifestyle and insulin resistance; and gestational diabetes, which can occur during pregnancy. Management involves monitoring blood sugar, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and sometimes medication or insulin therapy.
Dr. Ranj explains that "diabetes is a condition where your body can't regulate blood sugar levels and can't use that sugar as intended." He warns that long-term, it can cause significant damage to organs, eyesight, and more.
He clarifies that there are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is linked to genetic factors and involves no insulin production, while type 2, more common, is often connected to lifestyle choices.

The doctor attributes the rising number of diagnoses to diets rich in refined foods and sugars, "strongly linked to obesity," and a lack of physical activity. He states that "the combination of these factors" is often the root cause of the high prevalence of these conditions.
