Cured is not a word that applies to Diabetes. Cured would mean that one would not be diabetic oi lifestyle, diet and weight changes were removed, glucose metabolism would be normal.Congratulation and keep up do not lose a hope .. I hope it happens to me too and be cured

I know that a lifestyle change, as you have done, will always be beneficial, regardless of what point we are at.
I have just got home from my last diabetes clinic (for a while)
Blood tests indicate that I am no longer diabetic and the doctor has removed the diabetes code from my medical record.
Cured? Not quite. I have lost nearly 25% body weight and made significant lifestyle changes. Reverse those and it will come back. With age it may also return, but for now I'm free of the condition.
It can be done!
I am in a very similar position to the OP. I was diagnosed as T2 in July 2011. With moderate weight loss my, HBA1c was normal within 9 weeks. By the following June all tests (HBA1c, fasting glucose, C peptide, OGTT) were normal. My somewhat puzzled GP did offer to remove the diabetic code from my records but I decided against it so that I still get all the regular check ups. (and a free flu jab)
EllisB, which blood tests were used to confirm your current status? You mention that an OGTT was used for your original diagnosis, however you don't refer to one in your most recent set of results?

Yes this is what I have always wondered as very obese people with T2 are often told after they have lost a lot of weight perhaps due to a gastric bypass that they are no longer diabetic. If a T2 who has lost the weight with diet like many have on this forum and now keep their BG levels within the normal range for a non diabetic are they still T2 or would a doctor say they no longer have diabetes.I don't see why you can't reverse it really. If your hba1c is low and stays low why are you still t2 I don't get it either all my blood sugar home tests 6 a day all below the level expected of a non diabetic. Weird

The only way to really tell is to have an OGTT test, my ave BG is pretty low on the meter now (due my next hba1c next month I think) but no way I'd get a normal response to an OGTT.
Congratulations you have really done well so good luck in the futureI have just got home from my last diabetes clinic (for a while)
