[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 1242642, member: 19121"] I personally feel that 'reversed' and 'cured' are not altogether helpful words, I have controlled my diabetes down from using multiple daily injections of insulin and metformin to just metformin and I am now free of all diabetes medication altogether and eat a pretty normal diet. But I still dont eat any white bread or highly processed potatoes ie mashed etc and I only rarely eat pasta now, my hba1c's have been in the mid to low 5% for something like 7 years now but I am acutely aware that if I put back the weight I lost and started to eat the lousy diet that I used to eat then I am sure my diabetes would return, so I am more conservative with my use of words and prefer to say that I am well controlled but not necessarily cured and to me reversed seems to indicate a cure. Its just semantics I guess but I see no point in kidding myself and the stigma being a diabetic has never bothered me it just scared me into losing weight and controlling it :) [/QUOTE]
