Why diabetes cannot be reversed?

1 Answer(s) Available
Answer # 1 #

We talk of remission and not a cure because it isn't permanent. The beta cells have been damaged and the underlying genetic factors contributing to the person's susceptibility to diabetes remain intact. Over time the disease process reasserts itself and continued destruction of the beta cells ensues.
