[QUOTE="Patrick66, post: 2020253, member: 497846"] Hi Emma, Yeah I get that. I am diabetic but if my HbA1c dropped so low then yes I wouldn't be able to give myself the diabetic label anymore and I am not sure how I would feel about that. I suppose pleased in a way that I had "beaten" it but also wondering what happens next. I suppose having the label gives a certain sense of security in that you know you are tied to a health service and will be checked up on whilst now you have had the umbilical cord snipped, so to speak, and that...security, for want of a better word, is no longer there. Personally I think you've done brilliantly with your results and should be proud. I hope you are but yeah, I get it if that's not exactly how you feel. [/QUOTE]
