Maybe for a while: If a person recently got mild high blood pressure and mild type 2 diabetes, he can try to get his body in the best possible shape, to see if he can be normal without medications. In some cases, it's possible, but symptoms may return when he ages or gets out of shape. He should work with his doctor on selecting the right diet, getting to the proper weight, and doing a lot of exercise.

Can be controlled: High blood pressure and diabetes are chronic conditions. In my opinion, such diseases cannot be cured, but they can be controlled. They can be controlled to the point where medications are not necessary. But it never goes away. It all starts with the right diet, and improving health and fitness. If you are obese, weight loss is paramount.
