In fact, it is possible to reverse type 2 diabetes, but you are bound to face your share of struggles to control your blood sugar. There is no easy way to overcome a disease that has developed over many years. Although it shouldn’t take you that long to treat, it can still take time. Truth be told, the amount of time it takes to reverse type 2 diabetes is up to you: if you’re disciplined and committed to the task, you can significantly lower your blood sugar levels in just a few weeks. And if you can make healthy eating and physical activity a regular part of your life, it’s only a matter of time until your blood sugar is back in a normal range once again.

But again, it’s not going to be easy. One of the challenges you will face is in relation to the way you eat. Eating healthy all the time is not realistic, no matter how strong your willpower is. You will slip from time to time. You just have to make sure rambling isn’t the rule: stay in control, because your long-term well-being depends on it. That said, you may still be wondering if it’s possible to eat guilt-free as a person with type 2 diabetes. While there’s no simple yes or no answer to this question, we can assure you that it’s still possible to indulge on occasion, even if your goal is to lose weight and control your blood sugar level.

But eating without guilt has to be done right. Don’t be fooled into thinking that a “cheat day” is what you need. Eating as much as you want in the course of a full day could be dangerous because you would be pushing your limits. Never forget that diabetes of any kind is a blood sugar condition.

However, there’s nothing wrong with planning a “cheat meal” or being a little loose with your diet from time to time. As long as what you’re doing isn’t completely contrary to your goals, allow yourself occasional guilt-free moments. For example: allow more freedom in your lunch and dinner on the weekend, and enjoy your favorite desserts, regardless of their sugar content. There’s no need to worry if you keep your portion size in check. But be sensitive.

Remember the goals you set out to achieve. Don’t forget to exercise, because it will help make sure those extra calories are put to good use, not to mention help control your insulin level. And if you’re indulging in a couple of guilt-free meals over the weekend, make sure your diet is on point during the week.

Think of it as taking two or three steps forward, with an occasional step back. What matters, in the end, is that you are moving forward.

When it comes to treating and stabilizing blood sugar levels and losing weight, patience is a virtue.
