[QUOTE="trotskyite, post: 522419, member: 67262"] I I've always found the wording around diabetes strange but I have no answers. I would prefer remission rather than cure. However this kind of thinking would mean my twin brother who has never been over 8 1/2 stone and is active all day would be classed as diabetic as he shares the same genes as myself and if he slows down in later life he will, like me, get diabetes? However if he doesn't , he won't. So is he in remission at the moment or is he not diabetic? But if my glucose tolerance is as normal as his now then how do I have diabetes? We're identical after all. Obesity has very severe consequences and statistically almost all who lose weight will regain more than they lost so do we say to someone who has gone to normal bmi from obese that they are still obese and statistically they will eventually lose control of their obesity and regain weight? No we don't we say "well done you did a great job" and some of them never regain the weight and prove the statistics are not for everyone. [/QUOTE]
