[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1036441, member: 88961"] I'm somewhat bemused by your statement that you know your PFT fairly well now. My interpretation of PFT, in the context of Professor Taylor's work is it has absolutely zero to do with aesthetics, and almost 100% to do with the point at which the pancreas and other organs have been de-fatted to an extent their function improves enough to better self-regulate both insulin production and blood glucose levels. Similarly on the upward swing, the PFT is the point beyond which if further visceral fat is deposited the pancreas and other organs become overwhelmed and unable to maintain blood glucose levels in a safe, non-diabetic range. I think for one to know where one's PFT is, in any given period of their life, they would have to be having very regular testing, including OGTTs. As a non-diabetic, I do feel that, with respect, you haven't a clue where your PFT is, but you do know where you feel good, and consider you look good. Of course, there are other markers for noting metabolic syndrome and subsequent diabetes, but I am addressing the point in the most simplistic manner I can. Whilst I am content to discuss cure/remission/reversal and all of those other descriptive words, I think it is vital that those embarking on their diabetic adventure realise that reversal is not guaranteed. Even on Professor Taylor's controlled programme, only 70% achieved the Holy Grail. By it's nature I am assuming the balance 30% is made up of those whose condition did not improve sufficiently, within the programme time-frame, either by physical frailty (e.g. too much beta cell damage) or dietary non-compliance. Can you imagine being promised a cure, only to find, having gone through many weeks of a brutal dietary regime that nobody bothered to mention that 30%? That is the sort of experience that drives folks to a "S*d it!" response, and send them heading off to eat their way through their local Sainsbury's, starting off in the ready meal department and finishing in the Patissiere.
