[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1942286"] Old thread I know, but anyway. Diabetes is characterised and diagnosed by too much glucose in the body. If you have no symptoms, don’t have too much glucose in the body and aren’t using medications, you’re not diabetic. You may still be glucose intolerant, but that’s a different matter, and is the [I]reason[/I] you became diabetic originally, not diabetes itself. If you don’t put too much glucose into your body then the diabetes won’t return. Humans aren’t obliged to eat glucose. The body makes its own. There is no biological requirement to ingest carbohydrate. What society calls “normal” is of little clinical consequence. If you don’t have hyperglycaemia or hyperinsulinemia, the latter being unlikely without the former if you previously had diabetes, then a doctor would not make a new diagnosis of diabetes, regardless of what he or she might think of your dietary habits. All only in my humble opinion :D [/QUOTE]
