[QUOTE="Ronancastled, post: 2478099, member: 517232"] A normal non-diabetic eats 300-350gs of carbs per day & has an A1c of 5.1% (32). I had a low diagnostic level 6.9% (52). I lost 5st rapidly, slowly increased carbs as per my meter & passed an OGTT 14 months post remission. I've had background retinopathy & self diagnosed neuropathy, both of which have cleared up thankfully. Was it a fluke, am I a unicorn ???? . . . who knows. There's is no common diagnostic test, FBG, HbA1c, OGTT, that I would not pass with flying colours. I ate 100-200gs of carbs per day while wearing a CGM back in may & it estimated an A1c of 4.5% (26). In June of this year an Endo offered to remove my diagnosis, I still haven't accepted it nor do I intend to. Remission/reversal are only words, they are not a blank cheque to resume your old habits, that is gone. Grieve that share bag of Doritos, look longingly at the Snickers Bar on your way to the till, but they are gone & can never enter your thinking again. [/QUOTE]
