Reversing Type 2 Diabetes with Diet
Contrary to the common belief that type 2 diabetes (T2) is a lifelong, ever-worsening progressive and chronic condition, the disease can be “reversed,” sustainably, through changes in diet alone. This website aims to educate healthcare practitioners and patients on how to use a very low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet to reverse T2 diabetes safely and sustainably.
Why Reversal?
Although diabetes experts prefer to use the term “remission” to refer to how type 2 diabetes can swivel into reverse, this website uses the term “reversal” to reflect the fact that remission can be permanent, so long as carbohydrates continue to be restricted. Also, “reversal” is a more hopeful term. For this reason, “reversal,” was promoted by the late Dr. Sarah Hallberg (1971-2022), a pioneer in the field of diabetes research and patient care. This website was created as a legacy to her work.
