Folks! Can we take a step back here. Diabetes is diagnosed as a result of a HBA1C. Over 6 and you are labeled "diabetic"! That's it!
It's medical culture.
I'm in the same boat as many of you. Four successive 3 monthly blood tests have come back below 6 so technically I'm not diabetic any longer!
HOWEVER I got those results through loosing weight, watching what I eat and exercising more.
Looking through the entire forum, I'm firmly of the opinion that what we know as "T2 Diabetes" - high blood glucose is a symptom of some other condition BUT with so many organs involved (& now gut bacteria) and so many different 'types' of people, there is no definitive cause, cure or quick fix.
BUT we can say for sure that a low carb diet moderates the high BG symptom (and that's what we should all be aiming for).
Now, if diabetes cannot be cured, only managed then the blood tests stop being diagnostic and become a Performance Indicator of your overall management strategy.
All that said, even though I haven't been "diabetic" for over a year, I not going to take the chance. I'm going to continue with my low carb (but not restrictive) diet and exercise.
I've found there is a difference between "Living with diabetes" and "LIVING!!!! with diabetes!"
How you handle the rest of your life is in your hands. And only your hands.
