[QUOTE="Sam50, post: 1757696, member: 419035"] I think [USER=29475]@Lemonie[/USER] what you Doctor probably meant is that you are 'very well controlled/no longer at the point where a diabetic diagnosis would be given. (Congratulations btw-you've done really, really well !) I don't think you can ever become undiabetic for the reasons you gave- if you reverted back to your old ways of eating/behaving then your BG would rise again but you can be 'in remission'. I know that some people don't like that expression and just prefer to say 'well controlled/at non-diabetic levels'. It's not a label that ever disappear from your medical notes (at least i don't think that it does) in the same way that an alcoholic who gives up becomes a 'recovered alcoholic'. Not to say that if he/she fell off the wagon they wouldn't become a drinker again. I understand your annoyance, it is the kind of remark that belittles what you have achieved but don't let it get to you.xx [/QUOTE]
