[QUOTE="Waspdog, post: 2512122, member: 554337"] Firstly, thank you all for your helpful comments. So what I am understanding from your replies is a little confusing. While we all strive for reversal, it is never complete! Let me explain. Reversal is generally regarded as getting A1C down to, and maintaining it at, an agreed level. Complete reversal would mean going back to a “normal” diet but with moderation with respect to carbs. After all it was probably this over indulgence that made you T2D. However, your replies indicate that even years after getting A1C in hand, more care has to be taken with diet than someone who has a similar A1C but has never had it elevated to the point of being T2D. For example, I wouldn’t expect to eat a doorstep sandwich with a couple of beers everyday and stay in reversal. However, I would expect to be able to do this, say, every couple of weeks, as would a non-diabetic, without dropping back into being T2D. So, if my train of thought is correct, something has fundamentally changed, that can’t been reversed. Could this be irreversible liver function? Or might it be just old age and deteriorating metabolic function; few of us are spring chickens! [/QUOTE]
