Diabetes Remission Programs
Structured, physician-supervised programmes that work to put type 2 diabetes into remission.
A type 2 diabetes reversal program is a structured, physician-supervised plan that combines diet, weight loss and medication review to bring blood sugar into a normal range and reduce or stop medication. At EDFC in Surat, programmes are supervised throughout and matched to your health.
What is a type 2 diabetes reversal program?
A type 2 diabetes reversal program — also called a remission programme — aims to lower your blood sugar to a normal range without relying on medication, by treating the cause: insulin resistance and excess weight. It is delivered by the clinic's medical team at Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) under physician supervision.
India has an estimated 101 million people living with type 2 diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023), and a growing body of evidence shows that, for many, structured weight loss and medical care can achieve remission — especially when started early.
Remission is realistic for many people but is not guaranteed, and it must be maintained. We set honest goals based on your numbers and how long you have had diabetes.
Who is a diabetes reversal program for?
This programme may suit you if you:
- Have type 2 diabetes, particularly within the last few years
- Want to reduce the number or dose of your diabetes medicines
- Are overweight and motivated to lose weight with support
- Have prediabetes and want to avoid progressing to diabetes
- Have a diabetic foot problem and want to treat its root cause
- Prefer a supervised, structured plan over trying alone
When to see a doctor in India: if your HbA1c is rising despite medication, or you want to come off medicines safely, speak to a doctor before making any changes.
