In reading posts here, I see the word cured is used. In the U. S. most doctors don't (or won't) use the word cured. What is the criteria for being pronounced cured? I had one test above diabetic level and 3 months later one below the level. Would love to be considered cured. Please help me...

I agree with you, there could be so many uses for them. So far, I have put bobby pins in one, toothpicks in another, and that is as far as my imagination can go.

What do you mean by "invited for screenings"?

USA. We can't be denied insurance (although you pay an outrageous amount, and our deductible is high), but payment for services can be denied because of pre-existing conditions.

Thanks for the responses. I went from 9.2 to 5.5 in 3 months with diet and exercise. Lost 30 pounds in 3 months. Would really like the diagnosis to be changed for insurance purposes. I emailed Dr. Jason Fung and he said he has changed this diagnosis on patients. My reasoning is: I went from...

Has anyone ever had their diabetes diagnosis changed to non diabetic?
