Myth #7: There’s no cure for type 2 diabetes
This is false-ish, says Eduardo Sanchez, MD, the Chief Medical Officer for Prevention and Chief of the Center for Health Metrics and Evaluation for the American Heart Association in Dallas.
Type 2 diabetes is the more common form of the disease and is most closely linked to obesity. For people who are dealing with obesity, some types of gastric bypass surgery can almost completely clear up symptoms.
So can intermittent fasting. “The idea of a cure is elusive, but it is not outside of our grasp,” he says.
