CAN DIABETES SOMETIMES BE TEMPORARY AND GO AWAY? QUESTION 28

28. Can diabetes sometimes be temporary and go away again?

Yes, this can and does occur, in the case of both types of diabetes. However, in the case of type 1 diabetes,
the disappearance is very predictably temporary and the diabetes will almost inevitably return within
months or a year or two.

The reasons for it are complex and relate to the fact that type 1 diabetes is often diagnosed under conditions of physical stress. When the diabetes is treated and the stress to the body has resolved, there may be sufficient remaining insulin producing capability in the pancreas to keep the blood sugar normal under most circumstances.
