A debate as to whether the thread should stay open or closed is not needed. A friendly warning was given to try and get the thread back on track.

If you consider yourself cured, then you're cured.
If you consider your diabetes in remission, then it's in remission.
If you consider your diabetes reversed, then it's reversed.
If you consider yourself to be a well controlled type 2 diabetic, then you are a well controlled type 2 diabetic.

You missed one out Asymptomatic.
If you're asymptomatic, you don't show any signs of being sick. In some cases, you can have a disease but still be asymptomatic.
