Type 2 Diabetes #5 : Can We CURE Type 2 Diabetes? This is why your doctor will say no!
Do we have a cure for type 2 diabetes?
Hi welcome back to type 2, where we discuss everything about type 2 diabetes in a way that everyone can understand.
I’m Dr. Vladmir Carvalho. And today I’m going to answer one of the most asked questions about type 2 diabetes.
Do we have a cure for type 2 diabetes?
Today I will show you why you can not technically cure diabetes.
To do that, I will give you an example of when we cure something.
For example, let’s say that you have TB, tuberculosis
Now… you need to keep in mind that before that, your life was normal.
Until someone with TB bacteria was coughing near you or maybe talking to you and gave you the bacteria.
And now you’re coughing too, you have a fever, you have chest pain, you know, you’re feeling week,…all those stuff.
Now as a doctor I only have a simple job to do. I need to give you some antibiotics to kill the bacteria .
And when they are gone, your body gets restored and your life gets back to normal. In this case we can say that we have cured the disease.
Now when it comes to type 2 diabetes, it’s a different story.
You know that the sugar is always in your blood. And a measurement that we use is A1c. It just gives you a rough idea of your blood sugar for the last three months. But we will talk about that later.
Now…Because of your genetics and your lifestyle, leading to insulin resistance and partial loss of beta cells(the cells that produce insulin). The sugar in your blood will start to rise.
Now when it goes to a certain point, it can cause a lot of issues .
Now we have a lot of ways to deal with that. You can change your diet, you can start doing exercise, you can take medications, or even insulin.
But you need to understand one thing. If you do these, it’s possible for your blood glucose to go back to normal. But the problem is…the day you stop your lifestyle intervention, this A1c will slowly go back up.
And this is the main reason why we say that we can not cure diabetes. We can control it, but we need to control these things forever. If we stop, the A1c will go back up. And you are still diabetic. So the question is…If you have high blood sugar, If you have diabetes. Do you stay like that forever? No, there are many things that you can do to lower your blood sugar and have a normal life. But do we call that a cure? No, it’s not a cure. You are controlling your blood sugar. We can even say that you are reversing your diabetes, but we can never use the term “cure”.
