When they say you reverse type 2 what does that actually mean?
Does it mean only if you stick to the diet that got you back into normal figures.
Or does it mean you can eat anything and you won’t get high numbers again just normal? Obviously with this one risk of getting it again increases.
For me, it just means that while I have good control of my bloodsugars, no medication and no complications, I am still diabetic. That is to say, I remain carb intolerant, and if I go face-first into a cake and suck it down, my bloodsugars will hit the statosphere. Being a-symptomatic because of my diet hasn't magically cured me, (Sorry Jim, have to disagee with you on semantics here, but that's about all, and I do see your point), but if I stick with this diet I am not going to suffer the same complications my familymembers did, some of which were lethal, to a point where there's only one diabetic left in my family other than myself, and she's pretty far gone, alas. Loss of limbs, kidneyfaillure, livercirrosis, heartfaillure, ruptured aorta, neuropathy etc... I could walk under a bus tomorrow, but I feel fairly safe in stating T2 isn't going to kill me any time soon. If I ever end up in a nursing home where I don't have a say in my diet I'll kick the bucket right-quick though. But here's to hoping. So, to me.... It's just being really well-controlled through diet, permanently, and avoiding nastiness that way. I don't expect to ever be on speaking terms with birthday cake again. (And I strangely don't mind all that much...)
