[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1671361, member: 372717"] I'm not sure it really matters. If you can keep your blood sugar in normal range by healthy living then you don't need the extra checks you'd get if you were formally diabetic (eyes. feet etc) so it doesn't matter which label the doctor gives you. Of course, you know that if you start binging on junk food (or just stop going low carb) you'll creep back into diabetic land, and probably end up on medication. But if they do an HbA1C rather than a fasting blood sugar, you may find that the picture isn't as rosy as you currently think, as it'll cover your blood sugars for the last 3 months... In any case, congrats on successfully using diet and exercise to modify your blood sugars.:) [/QUOTE]
