[30-second reminder from Dr. Jeff, Harvard Neurology Ph.D.]
Lose weight, the nemesis of diabetes!
It is generally believed that once you have diabetes, you need to take medication for life. According to the latest research in PLOS Medicine 2024, adults diagnosed with diabetes have successfully lost weight within one year. In addition to significantly relieving diabetes symptoms, patients who lose more weight have a lower risk of returning to hyperglycemia and have better weight management. The life-sustaining rate of patients is much higher than that of ordinary patients. If the weight rises again after symptoms subside, the rate of returning to hyperglycemia will also jump significantly; weight loss is an important and effective prescription for diabetes!
