[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2267235, member: 345386"] I just need to emphasise that the £21 offer ends at the end of this month, so that's Sunday. From Monday, it reverts to the usual cost. Why isn't everyone on remission? In my opinion that's almost a "how long is a piece of skin" question. Many, many do achieve remission - some maintain it and others find their new habits are easier to maintain than others. Similarly, not all T2s become T2 for the same reason. In some cases, they should have been diagnosed with a different type of diabetes - in reality being something like LADA, which is more a variant of T1, but with a very slow onset. For others the reason can be the person can't find a balance in their lives where they live a decent life, and equally decent blood sugar numbers. For some that can be because they are juggle multiple comorbidities For some that can be that their pancreas just can't perform in the required way, and for some it could be they are taking medications which significantly impact their blood glucose levels, and importantly, some don't feel motivated to change. Again, that lack of motivation may be because of a package of issues they live with - both for themselves, but also in the immediate family dynamic. The thing is, there is no definite predictor of who will and who won't achieve remission, and to what extent that remission will be maintainable long term. I am absolutely not putting myself on any sort of pedestal here, because it can be painful when one falls off, but at I do seem to have been very lucky indeed, in that by and large, my body has recovered to a large extent from any damage my T2 did to me. Personally, I don't find living a lower carb lifestyle for the last 6.5 years to have been too much of a hardship, but and it is a BIG BUT, I do have my days. You know, those days when we think a sort of random, "I just want x, y or z". Do I give in? Sometimes, and sometimes, I just move on and either choose something different or get distracted. Nobody's life runs to clockwork. Honestly, please do try to do something, because I have observed individuals who have deferred and deferred actions, until even their best efforts are not going to achieve their dream. When it comes to preventing complications, the sooner we intervene the better, and to be honest, the feeling of empowerment when we're doing "something" is empowering. We're dealing with "it", rather than "it" dealing with us. [/QUOTE]
