How long can a person with type 2 diabetes live without medication?

Cannot be answered: God only knows the answer to that question. This is so dependent upon so many things. Most people would not even need medication who have type 2 if they would achieve normal weight, exercise properly, and eat a balanced diet without overeating. We love life so much, we kill ourselves.

Depends: It depends on why they are taking the medication specifically. Not all diabetics need medication. They do all need dramatic lifestyle changes like optimal low glycemic nutrition and daily exercise. Work with a functional medicine or integrative medicine doctor on the root causes of your diagnosis.
