Metabolic Reversal

Meaning

Metabolic Reversal refers to the clinical achievement of restoring a state of normal or near-normal metabolic function in individuals previously diagnosed with a chronic metabolic disorder, such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus or severe insulin resistance. This goes significantly beyond mere disease management; it represents a fundamental change in the underlying physiological pathology, often accomplished through intensive lifestyle interventions, including significant dietary changes and sustained weight loss, or targeted pharmacological therapy. Successful reversal is characterized by the sustained normalization of key biomarkers, such as blood glucose and HbA1c, without the need for disease-specific medication.
