The topic on the remission or reversing of Type 2 Diabetes has been highly controversial in the medical profession for some decades. In the last few months several research studies on this "hot" subject have been published stating that reversing diabetes is possible.
"This group proposed ”remission“ as the most appropriate descriptive term,
and HbA1c <6.5% (48 mmol/mol) measured at least 3 months
after cessation of glucose-lowering pharmacotherapy
as the usual diagnostic criterion."
~American Diabetes Association

voluntary sugar-reduction targets, which can generate major improvements in health,
health disparities, and healthcare spending in less than a decade”

In Closing
It is a great help to have studies, articles and links on a single topic in one article and hopefully by sharing this information it will enable others to see the astounding results. This is merely the "tip of the iceberg' as more and more information is becoming available on an almost daily basis. As always hoping you have found information to benefit you and your family. It is important to know:
"If only a small fraction of what we know about effects of sugar were to be revealed
in relation to any other material used as a food additive
(it) would promptly be banned"
