[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2270525, member: 94045"] Yet another definition of remission that only requires basic control (fasting glucose under 7 and HbA1c under 48) on two separate tests at least 6 months apart, plus weight loss. Too much emphasis is put on weight loss in this definition! Of course, it is a good thing to lose weight, but there are many T2s who have no weight to lose to begin with, and many who are overweight that gain remission under this criteria but have not lost weight. As I have mentioned before. I have been coded as In Remission but I still have 6 monthly blood checks, an annual review with the nurse, and an annual eye check. All I have lost is the foot check.
