[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2249299, member: 94045"] Each GP surgery has its own ideas of what remission is. My own surgery believes it to be consecutive HbA1cs under 48 without medication for a couple of years. (maybe 4 tests over that time). There is no official guidance as far as I know. This is something I found from [URL]https://www.diabetesremission.org/our-task/[/URL] [SIZE=6][B][I]“[/I]Definition of Diabetes Remission[I]”[/I][/B][/SIZE] Following international standards [1,2] a person goes into diabetes remission when the following conditions are fulfilled: [LIST=1] [*]Had a diagnosis of diabetes [*]Fasting Serum Glucose (FSG) is less than 100 mg/ml (5.6mmol/l) [*]HbA1c is less than 6.0% (42mmol/dL) [*]There is no active hypoglycemic therapy (either pharmacological or surgical) [/LIST] We define three levels of remission: [LIST] [*]Initial. When the conditions are fulfilled for three months [*]Complete. When the conditions are fulfilled for one year [*]Operational cure.
