[QUOTE="KennyS, post: 317277, member: 48174"] Ben, I read a book not to long ago, the title of which was something like "Their is a cure for diabetes" I read the book and all of the information in it supported the idea that you certainly have the ability to control many aspects of your diabetes, as many people on this site do day in and day out, but in my mind, the fallacy in writing books like this is the yardstick by which they measure the word 'cure'. In the book she presented 11 case studies where people got and kept their BG numbers low and reversed many other metabolic symptoms that were occurring in their life... I.E. IBS, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol.... and proclaimed from this that they were 'cured' but the one thing I find missing from all of the case studies is a simple Glucose Tolerance Test. The ability to recover from that test in a way that would be considered 'normal' is for me the only conclusive test that shows that the insulin production is proper and the resistance to insulin has been put right. Tell me the results for your most recent Glucose Tolerance Test. If you can't pass that... then in my non medical opinion, you haven't cured anything, only found your way to manage it. Kenny [/QUOTE]
