I am a bit surprised I must admit..does it mean I'm in remission?
I seriously doubt it.. but after my current weight loss experiment I might try some nasty carbs just to see...
The thing I have found (since I discovered my improved tolerance for gluten free carbs) is that I am fine for a one-off. Even a two or a three-off. But if I eat that level of carbs (still under 100g carbs a day) for several days in a row, I start to see escalating Fasting readings, and higher short term spikes, and I begin feeling off colour again.
So for me, I could probably claim 'reversal' based on HbA1c and I would probably do OK(ish) for an OGTT, but put me back on even moderate carbs for a week or two, and things would go very pearshaped. Ah well, it is a good thing to prevent complacency creeping in, isn't it?
