Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms suggest that you may be having diabetes.
Ideally you should consult a physician and get not only your blood sugar levels and urine checked up but also a comprehensive blood investigations and physical examination done.
Proper treatment can be carried out only after finding the real cause behind your symptoms.
I hope it helps however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Q: Can diabetes go away with lifestyle and dietary changes

Answered by Dr. Pavan Kumar Gupta (17 minutes later)

Hello,
Kindly go for the repeat blood sugar levels as well as urine microscopy.
Iifestyle changes and dietary modifications are adjuvant to diabetes treatment and help in managing your diabetes but can't treat diabetes entirely of its own.
A diabetic has to follow lifestyle changes and dietary modifications in addition to the anti diabetic medications.
Thanks
