[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2158542, member: 468055"] To use another example - I have food allergy induced asthma, brought on by consuming certain foods, including cow’s dairy. I eat a lot of those things and I go into some fairly major respiratory distress, which I treat with salbutamol and usually feel horrible for a couple of days after. Understandably I avoid these foods because my body tells me it can’t tolerate them. I don’t get much, if any, reaction if I have a tiny bit of cow’s milk in something like a restaurant halloumi occasionally (while proper stuff is only sheep/goat milk, the catering variety usually contains cow’s milk as well, as it’s cheaper) - but if I were to eat it constantly, I’d get asthma symptoms every time I’m in contact with it. My dairy intolerance seems similar in that way to your carbohydrate intolerance. If you have a little bit now and again, you remain asymptomatic; if you eat it regularly, diabetes symptoms come back. I could probably eat my own trigger foods in small amounts but choose not to - same as you. Lack of symptoms through good management and avoidance of triggering foods doesn’t mean you don’t have it. Not needing the medication others take for it doesn’t mean you don’t have it. I’ve not needed an inhaler for over a year. I still have asthma - you still have type two diabetes. To say we don’t is just being in a certain Egyptian river. [/QUOTE]
