Mine says “Resolved” although they want to prescribe me 500mg of Metformin a day to guard against it coming back one day.
I’m not really sure they have much of a clue. Fortunately this last conversation was on the phone so the GP couldn’t see my expression
Just make sure you still get annual monitoring and the retinal eye screening. Apparently the "resolved" code can stop the triggers for these to happen.

Diabetes that ‘goes away’
Some people, given the diagnosis of diabetes, radically change their lifestyle, lose weight and their HbA1c drops out of the diabetic range. What do you do? There is little guidance on this, but bear the following in mind:
• They are at high risk of ‘relapsing’ and becoming diabetic again – in our practice we do an annual HbA1c to look for this (and BP, cholesterol, etc.).
• They continue to need retinal screening. In order to ensure they are called for this use the code ‘Diabetes in remission’ (C10P) NOT ‘Diabetes resolved’ (212H) as this latter code doesn’t trigger recall. Do note that ‘Diabetes in remission’ does NOT exempt them from QOF – but should they not be getting QOF-style care anyway? (National Diabetes Retinal Screening Programme, 2014).
