Type 2 Diabetes Remission: Real Stories, ADA Guidelines, and Lifestyle Strategies
Remission of type 2 diabetes is real, measurable, and possible for many people. In this episode of Blood Sugar Unfiltered,Russ Powell, MS, RD, LD, BC-ADM, CDCES, explains what remission means, how the ADA defines it, and the science behind proven strategies like visceral fat reduction and structured weight loss protocols.
You’ll hear two powerful client stories:
- A 27-year-old who saw her blood sugars improve within weeks after years of “just take this medication” advice.
- A 59-year-old who started with an A1c of 8.9% on insulin and oral meds and, within three months, was off all medications. At one year, her A1c was 5.8% with no meds.
Learn how diet protocols like those in the DiRECT trial, ADA’s 2025 standards, and expert support can help you move toward remission or simply get more from your current plan.
