[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2381355, member: 521079"] Currently with medical science I think for type 2, it’s semantics... You can hold it in bay, remission if you like that terminology by changing diet, losing weight etc (those 2 seem to go hand in hand in many ways). Keeping it controlled longer term needs lifelong changes though. Increase carbs to too high a level and/or pile on the weight and it comes back. I am still very new, I went from diabetic to non diabetic levels and can maintain a lower amount of carbs. In the future my tolerance may get weaker, I don’t rule out drugs but am hopeful it can be lifelong. Is it reversed... well maybe, it’s there in the background waiting for me to fall back to the old ways, and I will continue to need annual reviews as who knows what a decade of it will have done to me type 1 no cure yet, pancreas transplant has happened to some but has its own set of problems and issues. Not something I know a lot about so can’t say it is a cure. It’s also not something a person can reverse themselves so may be a bit of a stretch to say reversed [/QUOTE]
