However, it is clear that lifestyle changes can be made by someone with T2DM, enabling them to get to the point that they effectively don’t have T2DM. The T2DM person can make changes such that they would not be diagnosed with T2DM today. To that extent, the T2DM has been reversed or cured. If the person resumed their previous lifestyle, the changes would abate and the T2DM would manifest itself again. Some people refer to T2DM being ‘in remission’ and I
