I agree that the whole thing is complex and the medical profession really does not understand much of it yet, but they will get there eventually. My personal view is that T2 is actually many different types which have different causes at the onset but all eventually head down the same path unless something can be done to stop it.Andrew your replies have been very interesting and given me a lot of food for thought, so thanks for that. I probably don't have anything else to add to this thread but I remain firm in the conviction that "cured" isn't as straightforward as just getting a decent Hba1c a few times in a row and am not sure what purpose declaring yourself 'cured' makes anyway.
I am going to be really controversial here in that I do not say I have diabetes or that I am diabetic - You will notice that I say a diabetic response... I find labels to be unhelpful.
No you shouldn't worry it will raise your BG levels No you really shouldn't worry it is long term exposure that causes the damage that is why the docs look at the HbA1c now. I am hoping to be at 37 or so on my next HbA1c as I was at 40 3 months after diagnoses of 94 (got to see some further progress)It's concerned me somewhat as a prediabetic whose BG Ha1c has now gone down to 37. I still occasionally get readings of over 6.5 - 7.0 2 hr post meals....and yet I am not even classed as prediabetic right at this moment in time. Should these kind of figures I have read in this thread alarm me? Should I be worried my hourly BG is much bigger than I think because I don't test it. Those figures don't sit well with me and it's all confusing me a bit seeing as though my BGs gone down. Why is this all so confusing!! ???
