Recovered...a question many ask.
I say no.
Could you go back to eating what you did for a decade or so ... nope
But would you be DX'D as T2D, if your HBA1c was 40 or below. No.
So remission. Mmh
Probably
Like Cancer in remission, not discernible, but perhaps worth continuing what ever changes / non invasive therapies you've been doing
As for THE numbers.
Personally we are all so different, even in this small segment of the forum, that nailing down a suitable score for each of us, would be taxing.
A younger me might see a lifetime of LCHF as worthwhile.
An older me might think, meh...ain't killed me yet.
This me...?
Settles for doing as much as possible, without destroying my sanity, with a forensic examination of every item of food & morning, pre & post prandial.
Others as said take other routes, are they wrong, no.
Their just not me, at this moment in my life,
And nor am I them.
I likened the management of this disease in my head, as a Journey,
Working out the most feasible route to where I want to be.
Sometimes that roads hard, occasionally easy,
But day by day we journey onwards.
So I say try to be happy with what you do,
or find an alternative,
None of this is issue free.
Seems a sensible answer.
