We all do whatever we are comfortable with. I prefer to say that I have type 2 diabetes controlled by diet, because for me I know that if I abandon the diet control, the type 2 hasn't gone away, it is an illness, and will reassert itself if I don't control what I eat. Others may well actually heal their bodies sufficiently well that they can eventually process insulin/carbs/sugars the same way as non-diabetics. I have no idea if this is possible, but it would be good if it was.
I suspect insurance companies wouldn't buy into it, though.
