[QUOTE="Eurobuff, post: 2249308, member: 113391"] I think the term “remission” is confusing. Remission to me means “gone, at least for now”. A cancer patient is in remission because there is no trace of the cancer in their system. In my case I would say it’s well controlled because I’m eating 50grams of carbs a day. It’s not in remission because if I was to eat a bar of chocolate I would have a high blood sugar result. Probably if I was to eat a bar of chocolate a day, my hba1c would then be a diabetic reading. So I would then be classed as a diabetic. Is an alcoholic that’s stopped drinking still an alcoholic? [/QUOTE]
