It's well known that weight loss and appropriate diet CAN put T2 into remission, but it's likely to come back if circumstances change.
If however, like me, you don't remember the last time you took a granchild into MacDonalds[ but she was a toddler and is now at school], and the only pizza you ever eat is made at home with the consumer grandchild. [ the other one!]
then there's no way this can work.
Nevertheless it's still possible to CONTROL T2 with diet and exercise.

The age old question,
Is it cured. reversed or in remission?



What the Daily Fail never publishes is about people who are not obese, have never ate fast food and the like and yet still succumb to Type2. According to them we are all overweight, couch potatoes and have a passion for processed foods and take aways.

I'm more of the mindset 'Well controlled' as opposed to 'Cured' and if a person maintains great control then both should have the same outcome

A remarkable achievement, I do hope he keeps the weight off and continues with his progress.
