Not always. Many patients manage early Type 2 diabetes with lifestyle changes, weight management, and regular monitoring. However, medications like metformin, GLP-1 inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, or insulin may be needed to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Your KFP provider will recommend the safest, most effective treatment plan based on your health status.
An A1c test measures your average blood sugar level over the past 3 months. It’s a key indicator of how well your diabetes is controlled. Most patients need an A1c test every 3 months. KFP provides on-site A1c testing to make monitoring faster and more convenient.
Some individuals with Type 2 diabetes may achieve remission through lifestyle changes such as weight loss, improved nutrition, physical activity, and proper medical management. While not guaranteed, many patients see dramatic improvements in blood sugar levels and overall health. KFP providers help you create a personalized plan to work toward your best possible outcomes.
