[QUOTE="phil1966, post: 783165, member: 144138"] My blood sugar ranges from generally 4.5 - 4.7 when I wake up to 5.6-5.8 two hours after a meal. That is within the "non-diabetic" range (as is my latest HbA1c), but that is only because I am very, very careful what I eat and I limit the amount of carbs. Therefore, I don't consider myself "cured" of diabetes because IMO, diabetes [b]isn't[/b] having high blood sugar, it's having a condition that means my body can't control my blood sugar levels as it should, and the high blood sugar is just a symptom of my condition. I would only consider myself cured if I could go out and have 8 pints of lager and a curry with naan bread and have a normal BS reading and nothing more than a hangover the next day. Until that day (which I believe will be never), I consider myself "controlled", not "cured" :) [/QUOTE]
