Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sid Bonkers" data-source="post: 376125" data-attributes="member: 19121">Hi Don and welcome to the forum.Despite what some people may say there is no cure for diabetes, it is however possible to control it at near non diabetic levels as I have done for the last 4 plus years.So it is possible to reverse high blood glucose levels but it is not possible to reverse diabetes and if were to return to way I ate 5 years ago I would soon see my blood glucose (bg) levels shoot back up to double figures.My current HbA1c is as you can see from my signature 5.1% or 32 mmol/mol in the new way of measuring the HbA1c, I have not been out of the 5%'s since diagnosis when my first HbA1c was 12.6% or 114 mmol/mol. And my bg level was recorded at the hospital at over 29 mmol/L.Am I cured? Have I reversed my diabetes? NO but I do live a normal life and eat a normal diet albeit at a much lower portion level than I used to eat. And I dont eat white bread or pasta now and there are a few other things that I can only eat in very small portions but over all It doesnt encroach on my life at all and that my friend is the best that you can hope for.Will my control last forever? I hope so but I dont have a crystal ball and I am a realist so I would never say never, but at this moment in time I am probably about as cured as a T2 diabetic can be  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Oh and Ive lost over 5 stones in weight thats over 70lbs or about 32Kg for those of you who work in metric weights  :lol:</blockquote>
