[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1036076, member: 88961"] You make some definitive statements in your post, which I am pretty certain cannot be made until some of these people have lived their lifetimes, post diet. Yes, I "get" and I believe in the Personal Fat Threshold (PFT), but who actually knows where that is? I know I've gone skinny and can eat far more carbs than I could at diagnosis. I now eat as many as I want, but that would still be termed a reduced carb diet, such is the modification in my tastes and preferences. I corresponded with Professor Taylor, a year or so ago, to ask a couple of me-specific questions, and he was gracious enough to respond in a fairly fullsome way. His statements were more focused on not re-crossing the PFT - ergo keeping my trimmed up weight off. However, as I understand it, with maturity (OK, aging) one's insulin resistance gets worse, and hormonally many folks are more likely to gain weight, even without changing anything in their diet (menopausal/post-menopausal women), and there have been suggestions that the PFT may also come down, simply with age. For me, only when we have truly long term data from this approach would I be bold enough to make any suggestion of definite permanence of the cure/remission/reversed/gone away status* (use your term of choice). Of course, we all have to decide what we believe for ourselves. For me, I have gone once around the revolving diabetes roundabout and been able todismount on the non-diabetic side for now. So, my mission is not to re-join that diabetic roundabout, because who knows how well I might be able to jump in a few years time. For now, I have some clues that may help me, but I wouldn't be so bold as to make definite statements. [/QUOTE]
