[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1758043, member: 94045"] There are 2 codes that GPs can use in these circumstances. One is "diabetes in remission". The other is "diabetes resolved". It is up to the GP which he chooses. "Diabetes resolved" is supposed to be used for those where the diabetes has completely gone, such as after bariatric surgery, or if it was caused by prescribed medicines like steroids that are no longer prescribed. "Diabetes in remission" is for those that have returned to non-diabetic levels through lifestyle and no longer on medication, but are still at risk. Apparently there is virtually no official advice on this, so GP's are often unaware of which code is appropriate. My GP chose the wrong one for me, but did add underneath "at risk of diabetes". This means I will be monitored accordingly. By the way, I would never have known about being "diabetes resolved" had I not been able to see it on my on-line medical records. [/QUOTE]
