Hi, I used to be very over weight and have now lost 7.5 stone (over 100lbs). When heavy I had undiagnosed sleep apnea and consumed lots of sports and energy drinks to stay awake. My sugars spiked and I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic. I do not take medication. My sugars have been consistently low since I have lost weight and taken exercise (4.5 - 5.1) In fact other than the week when diagnosed as being high they never been higher than 5-6, which given my size was to be expected. My GP informs me that I will always be classed as diabetic. I would like my records to say otherwise as I have worked hard to reverse the situation. Is there any way that a GP can reclassify me or will I always have to say I am diabetic? If anyone has successfully changed their medical status I would be keen to hear from them. Thank you ;0)

Wow, that's awesome.
What was your HbA1c like on diagnosis? What is it now?

Your doc. is right, you might have beat it for now, but it is still there waiting to come back.
Try drinking a couple of sugary fizzy cans and test after 2 hours, if your BG is over 6 or 7 your are still T2.
Fantastic weight loss, I lost a lot of weight as well, some has gone back on but not to bad.
