Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I reverse diabetes with diet alone?
Type 2 diabetes can often be significantly improved—and in some cases reversed—with early,
consistent dietary and lifestyle intervention. Our role is to support this medically alongside your
physician.
Q: Will I have to cut out all sugar and carbs?
No. Our approach includes portion-controlled, complex carbohydrates and focuses on glycemic
balance, not deprivation. You can still enjoy fruits, whole grains, and occasional treats.
Q: Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No referral is needed, but we do collaborate with endocrinologists or diabetologists if you’re
under ongoing medical care.
Q: Can this help if I’m only borderline or pre-diabetic?
Absolutely. Pre-diabetes is the ideal stage to intervene and prevent the progression to Type 2
diabetes.
