[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2170178, member: 196898"] The OP has raised a question that is asked many times a year on this forum, Indeed, as I write, there is a parallel thread running concurrent with this one. One thing all these threads have in common apart from the Q&A is that I cannot recall any member posting a success testimonial in the thread that they had previously been T2 and were now in remission. In contrast, there are numerous instances of members reporting remission using a variety of diets from Low Carb, Ultra Low Calorie, even Mediterranean ans South Beach diets and I know because I too was declared to be in clinical remission myself earlier this year and I was happy and proud to share my news with the forum members. This lack of fanfare heralded successes may be due to one of 2 things (1) the claims made for the vegan WOE do not hold water in regard to the claims for T2D or (2) the vegan WOE is so successful that no vegan T2D's exist and hence will not be needing to visit this forum. Is there another explanation? Sadly I do have to report that after my seemingly miraculous remission this year, I had to have a major operation that clobbered my pancreas and kidneys so they stopped working for a while. I have recovered from that, but it meant that I was placed on insulin and my bgl has yo-yo'ed since. I am creeping slowly back on track, and am down to a low dose of Metformin, and my HbA1c last week was 46, so I am close again, but cannot claim remission at the moment. So I am currently a T2D omnivore on orals and lifestyle and my GP is very pleased with my annual review last week. A cat has 9 lives it is said, not sure how many I got left but still around to annoy everyone. My point is that being told officially that one is in remission by the NHS HCP's is a such a wonderful feeling that one would find it difficult to keep to ones self and not shout it from the rooftops, So I find the silence in these threads to be very telling.
