Hi thanks for using healthcaremagic....
First we should understand the pathophysiology of type2 DM.In T2DM the sugar values are elevated due to the insulin resistance ,the insulin in the body is not able to act properly.The resistance is like a wall and the insulin cannot act on the insulin receptors.As a result the sugar values become more .
If we can destroy the resistance then we will be able to reduce the sugar values.
Exercise,diet and weight reduction is the key to reduce the insulin resistance.Hence with diet and exercise we will be able to reverse T2DM initially.
But after sometime only life style modification can't help the situation ,Metformin will be required at that point.
But as time progresses the insulin production will be reduced and we require some external helps.That external helps are either drugs or insulin according to the situation.
thank you
