Evidence has shown that intentional weight loss of 15kg, or around two and a half stone can reduce HbA1c to less than 48mmol/mol and often stop or prevent people needing medication. This is called diabetes in remission.
Speak to your healthcare team about weight management services in your area that can support you with losing weight. First steps to losing weight are healthy eating and physical activity.
Even if you do not fully get diabetes into remission, making healthy dietary changes and any weight loss will improve your blood glucose levels.
