Type 2 Diabetes Remission Is Officially Recognized!
BREAKING NEWS: Type 2 Diabetes Remission Is Officially Recognized!”
For decades, the story of Type 2 Diabetes sounded like this: “You’ll manage it for life.”
This November, however, we’re seeing a new chapter: the possibility of remission.
A major update in medical coding and clinical guidelines underscores that diabetes doesn’t have to define your future—especially when you apply smart, science-backed lifestyle strategies.
What’s Changing – The ICD-10 Story
On October 1, 2025 (FY 2026), the code E11.A –Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Remission– becomes effective.Victory RCM+1
This code was proposed as part of the FY 2026 ICD-10 update, signalling that “remission” is now a clinical category.Part B News
According to commentary from Wolters Kluwer: “Diabetes can now officially be documented as being in remission.”Wolters Kluwer
Why does this matter? Because what gets coded, gets treated. Recognition of remission changes the narrative for patients and providers.
Clinical Meaning of Remission
The guideline published by Diabetes Canada defines remission of Type 2 diabetes as A1C below threshold, no antihyperglycemic medications for at least 3 months.Diabetes Canada Guidelines
That doesn’t mean everyone will achieve it—but for many, it’s possible with the right timing and intervention.
The research shows that intensive lifestyle change—especially if diagnosis is fairly recent and complications are minimal—can lead to remission.Diabetes Canada Guidelines+1
This is not just a “nice bonus”—it’s a shift in treatment philosophy: from “manage forever” to “restore health.”
Why Women Over 40 Need to Know This
Women over 40 often face multiple intersecting challenges: menopause, shifting hormones, changing metabolism, and potential chronic disease.
If you’ve been told “just manage your diabetes” — that’s no longer your only script. You can aim higher.
This change empowers you: you’re not just avoiding bad outcomes—you’re working towardfreedomfrom disease.
At Rx Health & Wellness, we tailor strategies for women in this phase of life — addressing diet, movement, sleep, mindset, and hormones.
How to Move Toward Remission (Functional-Medicine Framework)
Whole-food, plant-forward nutrition— focus on unprocessed foods, fiber, lean protein, healthy fats.
Movement— daily walking, strength training, post-meal activity.
Sleep & stress— poor sleep and high stress raise cortisol and impair glucose regulation.
Mindset & support— believing change is possible and having a community are huge.
At its heart: you’re improving insulin sensitivity, reducing liver and pancreatic fat, and supporting your metabolism.
The guideline also notes that individuals with shorter duration of diabetes, fewer medications, and less complication burden have higher remission likelihood.Diabetes Canada Guidelines+1
