[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 2307094, member: 41885"] because your type 2 diabetes hasnt gone, it is in control. You are still diabetic. You still cant eat carbs in the same ways as a non diabetic can. Also, there is more to diabetes than good control. As yet we dont know how far good control goes when it comes to other health risks, as there are few of us with long term good control, so the pattern cannot be seen with any degree of assurance. It may not be enough for some health situation. Things change. When I got covid-19 my control went, through no fault or cause of my own. Many report that when they have covid-19 they cant control their diabetes to non-diabetic levels. Therefore we become (hopefully temporarily) uncontrolled or less well controlled diabetics. Also, we dont know how time affects us. We could lose the amount of control we have at any point. Do you consider that remission is cure? In my view, we remain diabetics, regardless of how well our control is at any given time. When we are ill, our sugar levels rise. Its the way it is. Therefore our risk, as diabetic, is real. [/QUOTE]
