Hi
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted the question.
Type 2 Diabetes is due to a combination of resistance of body tissues towards the action of insulin ( insulin resistance) as well as relative insulin deficiency. Obesity and excess weight contributes significantly to this. LAck of exercise is another reason. If you diabetes running in family, that is a big risk factor.
What is your height and weight ?. If you do exercise and lose 10% of body weight, there will be significant improvement in diabetes. Along with this, you have to take a low calorie diet. Metformin is a wonderful drug , but some people do not tolerate big doses.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for Type 2 Diabetes at the moment. Lot of research going on. However, bariatric surgery offer good hope of cure of diabetes at least for some period if done sufficiently early
