As my signature suggests, I was diagnosed in 2013 with an A1c of 73 or 8.8%.
In the intervening period, my A1cs have all been 37 (4 months after diagnosis) or less - mainly toggling 31<>33.
I had bloods done on Tuesday for an Endo appointment next week. They're not all back yet, but my A1c was in this morning at 33. Bearing in mind I have been eating much more fruit this year, I'm happy enough.
At diagnosis, when I told my GP I wanted to try to live well, without medication, I was given 3 months to try, but a parting remark of "You'll never do it." My bloods were 4 months later, just because I was overseas for the intervening period. I have never taken any diabetes related meds.
So, Friends, Romans and Countrymen, remission can be achieved and maintained. Of course, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a decent level of repair and recovery from their T2, but it's worth a decent shot.
Just do your best. That's always enough, no matter the outcomes.
