Is it possible to reverse type 2 diabetes?

Dr Eva Orsmond's new book, How to Reverse Your Diabetes, says this may be the case.

Dr Orsmond emphasises that there are no guarantees, and that the condition is more likely to be reversed if it is at an early stage.

An estimated 600,000 people in Ireland are at risk of type 2 diabetes, with approximately 200,000 diagnosed.

It is a serious condition which Dr Orsmond says is "definitely taking years off your life expectancy."

She says support is vital when it comes to treating your type 2 diabetes, and advises those with the condition not to come off medication without medical supervision.
