Patients can sometimes achieve remission and reverse insulin resistance with the right tools and guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Genetics may make type 2 diabetes more likely, but the disease is largely a result of diet and lifestyle choices. Changes in behavior can prevent it from even occurring, and even reverse it once it has occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Patients have the right to be truly informed about all treatment options for type 2 diabetes before consenting to treatment.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a clinician treating patients with type 2 diabetes, you can arm yourself and your patients with the knowledge needed to tackle what is becoming one
