Well done, Eggs. And what a good thing your Diabetic Team was willing to listen. I actually managed my T2D for 6 years, from March 2004-March 2010, on diet only, and I logged everything I ate, and had HbA1cs between 5.1-6.0 (sorry, I don't know those new numbers!) for the whole 6 years.

I notice you only began this battle in September 2014. I was diagnosed in March 2004, and the fight goes on. But I think it does take those around you a bit of time to realise they shouldn't present you with too many sweet treats. Your good little cook will begin to find other treats for you...

I did too, Buddy-Roo. Had HbA1c of between 5.1 and 6.0 for the first six years. I was 'cured'. I have watched dozens of people do this, but as our friend above says, you can't resurrect dead beta cells. In my seventh year the HbA1c slipped up to 7.0, and in the eight year it was 8. I begged for...
