[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 685867, member: 22572"] [USER=142077]@gungerdin[/USER] Are you sure you are quoting the right numbers, as I do not recognize what test result of 5,2 could be that made you diabetic. Neither an hba1c of 5,2% or a fasting glucose of 5,2 mmol are anywhere near being diabetic numbers; both being in fact in the non diabetic range. So I am a little confused. Even if you meant to write A1c of 6,2% that would only indicate pre-diabetes not diabetes. Irrespective, if by your statement you mean that whether one goes on to develop diabetes is a matter of lifestyle choice. I would only partly agree as, while bad lifestyle choices may play a role, so do other factors such as genetics and medication taken. If by your statement you mean that by making the right lifestyle changes one can cure his diabetes then I would prefer the words "control" or "manage" used in place of the word "cure", which may be building an unrealistic expectation in the case of many of us; although I do understand that a few are claiming to have reversed their diabetes. All the best Pavlos [/QUOTE]
