yes it is a finger prick test in mmols. Diabetic nurse said I am reversing but just got yo wait for hba1c test nowIs that finger prick blood glucose tests in mmol/l?
If so then you have reduced the amount of glucose in your blood between that test and this latest one, but that is all that can be said, to be honest, other than good one.
I have consistently low BG levels, due to my diet being low in carbs, and my glycated haemoglobin level is down to normal - but I am still diabetic and if I were to go back to the carb laden cholesterol lowering diet I was on then I'd soon be back in the same state as I was before diagnosis.
what is reversed definition thenGood results!
But only a one time result.
Only a hba1c test will give you that answer.
But it will always be there, just because you seem to be in non diabetic numbers doesn't mean you can go back to what is termed eating 'normally'!
You can relax the reduction in carbs but as they say 'eat to your meter!'
Thanks, Dr said a group of Aborigines reversed in a study in 7 weeks after returning to their traditional homeland and diet and leaving the western diet off flour ,sugar , rice, beer , and potatoes etcI was classed as 'no longer diabetic' only after a combination of non-diabetic results from finger prick, hba1c and oral glucose tolerance tests.
Don't be disheartened though, you're doing very well!
Perhaps that is more 'left it behind them' - I have just about completely normal readings after six months not eating carbs, and I have lost weight, feel better, but I like the low carb diet so I don't really want to start to eat stodge again, even if I could cope with it.Thanks, Dr said a group of Aborigines reversed in a study in 7 weeks after returning to their traditional homeland and diet and leaving the western diet off flour ,sugar , rice, beer , and potatoes etc

I have read a lot of studies and research about reversing T2. I am sure it can be done. As long as healthy eating is maintained after sugars are controlled and the body absorbs and produces insulin correctly.I don't believe there is a official definition, as officially there is no way to reverse diabetes - most doctors seem to regard it as a progressive disease which will result in nasty complications and early death - but there is a growing number of type 2 diabetics with good numbers confirmed by the tests done by hospitals as well as at home.
My guess would be; normal insulin production and absorption of the insulin by the blood cells. Thus controling the blood sugars in the normal range. Maintenance of a healthy diet is key to keeping this balance. Just a guesswhat is reversed definition then
"Remission is defined as achieving glycemia below the diabetic range in the absence of active pharmacologic (anti-hyperglycemic medications, immunosuppressive medications) or surgical (ongoing procedures such as repeated replacements of endoluminal devices) therapy. A remission can be characterized as partial or complete.what is reversed definition then
"Remission is defined as achieving glycemia below the diabetic range in the absence of active pharmacologic (anti-hyperglycemic medications, immunosuppressive medications) or surgical (ongoing procedures such as repeated replacements of endoluminal devices) therapy. A remission can be characterized as partial or complete.
Partial remission is sub-diabetic hyperglycemia (A1C not diagnostic of diabetes [<6.5%], fasting glucose 100–125 mg/dl [5.6–6.9 mmol/l]) of at least 1 year's duration in the absence of active pharmacologic therapy or ongoing procedures.
Complete remission is a return to “normal” measures of glucose metabolism (A1C in the normal range, fasting glucose <100 mg/dl [5.6 mmol/l]) of at least 1 year's duration in the absence of active pharmacologic therapy or ongoing procedures."
And:
"Prolonged remission is complete remission that lasts for more than 5 years and might operationally be considered a cure."

Or perhaps a fructosamine test if there is a suspicion that a person's HbA1c test is inaccurate.It really ought to include a successful OGTT. We all know how unreliable fasting tests are, and for a lot of us it is the same with the HbA1c. I have never done an OGTT but I do sometimes experiment with a high carb food to see what it does to me.
This is what the paper said about OGTT: "The group was unable to reach a consensus on the incremental value of oral glucose tolerance testing, beyond the more convenient A1C and FPG tests, in defining remission."It really ought to include a successful OGTT.

One drawback is that on a low carb diet, even a person that has never had diabetes can become temporarily insulin resistant.It makes sense to use all the tests available, fasting blood glucose, A1c, post-meal glucose and fructosamine. Out of all those I would chose the post meal glucose on an OGTT or using CGM devices to test this out. Of course, this will never happen.
