Not to defend Taylor but I believe that the genetic malfunction is the deposit of fat on the internal organs before filling subcutaneous stores. We all think speak of genetics as this predetermined breakdown of signalling pathways that lead to insulin resistance. Perhaps this genetic component...

Exactly my point above I suppose the study now confirms Prof Taylors twin cycle hypothesis so he'll receive plaudits for that. Hard to see how it benefits the TOFIs however, perhaps focus on a weight loss pill that targets visceral fat ? Who knows

Just adding the link to the follow up thread if anyone comes this way https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/diabetes-caused-by-denim-shrinkage.184273/

This appears to be based on the prelim findings of the ReTune Study https://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/theretunestudy/ Had wondered how that was progressing, think Covid affected it While explaining the underlying cause, the genetic disposition to deposit visceral fat on the liver...

Great results, wonder why they gave you an A1c test 5 weeks post diagnosis, you would have 7 weeks of pre-diagnosis high BGs in there, that made your 58 even more impressive. Keep it up, you're now an inspiration to others.

You hit this hard straight out the bat, you'll be strongly rewarded for that. I wonder what your weight loss was like in that period ? Yeah, nobody warned me about the hair thing either, been there. A couple of titbits, you now have the greatest tool in your arsenal, so how do you use it...

I doubt this but you're entitled to your own reasoning.

Your 2 hour would put you firmly in the pre-diabetic zone, 140-199mg/dl. You're producing plenty of insulin so your beta cells seem fine. As @bulkbiker has said above your remaining problem is some insulin resistance.

Normalising BG from a diabetic state can take 6-8 weeks to resolve glucose levels in the eyeball. Now that's a stat I often see quoted, it took me longer. Cause you only have a one eye issue I'm wondering if you've had a retina scan just to rule out any issues. To put your mind at rest I had...

Sorry for this doozy but I'm waiting on the Ryder Cup opening ceremony & I am on my second glass of a fine Malbec. I've avoided meds luckily so far but often consider the future & the long game. Met seems all good, my Endo even said he'd put it in the water supply if he could. I probably should...

Both of you disgust me . . . . it's a marmite thing [insert puking emoji]

Oh yes, wait until your levels start dropping with the good advice on here. You are in for a rollercoaster . . . I wouldn't go buying glasses until things stabilise.

Greetings @Alzeeb My doc diagnosed me with an A1c of 52 & a follow up of 48. You've been done a disservice by being described as a pre-diabetic. A proper diagnosis at the time might have made you proactive. But that's in the past now so we move on. Like you I was 19.5st at diagnosis, I took it...

Anything is possible & probably depends on your residual beta cell function. Taylor states clearly that: I believe from memory that he championed someone who had been a T2 for 20 years & on insulin who managed to achieve remission.
