[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 316808, member: 40343"] As far as your diet and exercise regimes goes then do whatever works for you. If you are happy with an hBA1c of 6% then great and as you say that is back under the diabetes diagnosis value. Unless you were diagnosed very early on i.e in the prediabetic or maybe just diabetic stages then it is incredibly unlikely you have cured your diabetes, you have it under control just like loads of us do and to be frank a lot of us have better hBA1c's than you are achieving so rather than preaching a bit of listening might not go amiss. What really made me angry about your post BigBenn was That is the equivalent of poking a wasps nest with a stick as despite what you may believe the science does not show that T2 is a lifestyle choice. Certainly being overweight may well trigger T2 in someone but a) a lot of people get T2 without ever being obese (me included) and more importantly b) the science increasing shows that it's the initial stages of developing the disease that makes people gain weight rather than those people gaining weight because they have chosen any kind of bad or immoral lifestyle. i.e that they are fat and lazy. On exercise then yes as a means of keeping yourself healthy some exercise is obviously good for you and everyone should try and do some. Hard physical sustained exercise may not be that good especially if you are attempting to loose weight as afterwards you will end up hungry and by eating to satiate the hunger cancel out the effect of the exercise. In reality something like just walking may well be good exercise as gentle forms of exercise can be driven from body fat and encourage weight loss as opposed to very physical exercise that needs to be glucose driven.
