So Mandy/Anna et al would you have a problem with an obese person who has lost weight now being called normal weight? Your logic seems to dictate that they should always be called obese as most people who lose weight will put it back on again and they are never "cured" of their obesity.
Also when the gene that affects levels of hepatic fat etc is identified people should be called diabetic even though they have not attained the levels of intra liver fat needed to become type2 diabetic?
These people are "cured" or reversed, if you prefer,as they have not got diabetes which is the inability to control blood glucose. They have a propensity to get diabetes (type2) when their own personal levels of liver/pancreatic fat become such that their bodies stop being able to control their blood glucose.
Your argument is semantics and conveniently excludes the ,admittedly, small percentage of people who do lose the weight needed to truly reverse their diagnosis and have the willpower and commitment to make lifestyle change so they stay that way. Also the many people who if they consumed excessive calories over time would become diabetic with increase in liver fat.
Keith Frayn, Professor of Human Metabolism, University of Oxford, said:
“For many years, doctors have believed that Type 2 diabetes is a life-long condition: it can be treated, but not cured. In the last few years, that idea has been disproved.
Prof Roy Taylor, Newcastle University:
"Our work has shown that type 2 diabetes is not inevitably progressive and life-long. We have demonstrated that in people who have had type 2 diabetes for 4 years or less, major weight loss returns insulin secretion to normal.This new understanding of what causes type 2 diabetes and how it can be completely reversed has been used by individuals worldwide, and their experiences have now been published"
