[QUOTE="Syd, post: 846466, member: 92896"] [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] When you were taken off the diabetic register in December 2014 were you coded as being 'Diabetes resolved' or 'Diabetes in remission'? I ask because I had my annual review last January and the DN stated that if my next Hba1C result was of a similar order (32 mmol/mol) and my fasting glucose was under 7 mmol/l then she would record me as being 'diabetes resolved' My further reading on this is that 'diabetes resolved' is akin to stating that there has been a misdiagnosis of diabetes and going forward I would be treated as if I had never had the disease at all. This would mean no annual checks, for retinopathy etc. would be carried out. On the other hand a coding of 'diabetes in remission' means that I would still need monitoring and get the annual checks. To that extent I would still be on the diabetic register and receiving treatment for diabetes in the form of annual checks. I am confident that provided that I keep off the weight which I have lost then I will be diabetes free for a while to come, but I would still like the reassurance of the annual checks and so I will be pushing for a coding of 'diabetes in remission', to that extent I still have diabetes and will still be on the register. Although the common parlance for a successful resolution of diabetes is 'diabetes reversal' this does not seem to form part of the NHS coding of its patients. [/QUOTE]
