[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1645843, member: 459333"] I'd certainly agree that all that is really important is whether or not one experiences damage from having diabetes. So either fixing your insulin response, which some lucky (and determined) people have done, or working around a broken insulin response by not challenging it with carbs, are both great. But they are different things, and if both are classed as remission then communication becomes difficult. I'll have to accept that the medical community has a definition that I don't like, I'll get over it! I also agree that even for the people whose metabolic system is restored to "normal", they will need to be careful of their diet in future. But is that exactly the same as "still being diabetic and managing it through diet"? Here's an interesting question in that regard: does someone who has fixed their metabolism need to watch their diet in order to avoid getting Type 2 (again) any more than someone born yesterday will need to watch their diet in order to avoid getting Type 2?
