[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2450514, member: 372717"] That's a fairly controversial statement, as indeed is the very word remission. I have to be careful what I post as though I have some insulin resistance going on (thanks T2 dad :)) I am T1 but not T2, but I have to caution that we have many many T2s posting on these boards after they have achieved "remission", fallen off the wagon (whether that is low carb or low cal) and found themselves diabetic again. I think the only way you can know for sure is to use a meter and test, and if you return to the diet you had before T2 it's all too easy to return to the blood sugars as well. I think metabolism is a very individual thing and you have to be careful about assuming that other people's metabolisms are the same as your own (though we all tend to do it.) And T2s seem to have a genetic issue with too many carbs... As for [USER=542191]@ZoeinKent[/USER]'s issue, I would agree with [USER=517232]@Ronancastled[/USER] that a couple of weeks with a cgm (ie libre) could be very informative, though they aren't cheap and you would do well to check a few readings against a glucometer to make sure the libre is accurate.
