[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2249583, member: 480869"] My thoughts were never meant as an accusation - to you or anyone in general. I’m sure you realise this. You are not alone in your perspective. I find it an interesting but probably open theoretical discussion and though I’d made that clear. Indeed whatever works as there’s no single answer. No one has said a person is diabetic purely on the basis they don’t eat carbs, more putting forward the opinion that ceasing to eat carbs doesn’t make a previous diabetic no longer one. Quite possible if a person only ever ate low carb they would not become or know they were diabetic (unable to cope long term with above a certain level of carbs - once more down to definitions). Not being able to sustain a lifelong appropriately named SAD diet is very different from maintaining a reasonable real food, moderate carb diet more typical in generations past. Perhaps we are indeed born with (the predisposition towards) type 2 that the high carb modern way of eating makes apparent. Genetics is certainly part of it. None of which is the point I attempted to make. My point was more what is T2 diabetes? Is it purely hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulemia or is it other damaged mechanisms and these are merely symptoms of the damage which may or may not be on display given a particular lifestyle once awareness of the condition has arisen. If the former then your assertion that you no longer have diabetes holds true. [/QUOTE]
