[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1308102, member: 209498"] [USER=354072]@MKD75[/USER] Once you have been diagnosed as diabetic you will always be diabetic, and need to be careful about what you eat. After my last HbA1c result, which was in the non-diabetic range, I saw the Diabetic Nurse at my GP practice and she said they don't use the term 'reversed' but as far as she was concerned I was no longer diabetic. Like you I had put on a couple of stone, almost entirely round my middle, after I retired and wasn't walking 3 miles to work every day, and had become a couch potato. I now walk at least 10,000 steps most days. I still have to watch what I eat. I test my blood sugars with a blood glucose meter every morning to make sure they aren't going up. I do drink, but red wine now instead of beer, though I do have a few pints when I am meeting friends in a pub, but that is only four or five times a year. I do have a can or two of Guinness or beer occasionally at home when I'm in the mood. And I do now eat chocolate (high cocoa content dark chocolate), biscuits, cake, and ice cream, though a lot less than I used to. And I do have takeaway and eat out, but I'm more careful with what I chose from the menu, and cut down on the carbs, eg sharing a rice portion instead of having a whole one myself. [/QUOTE]
