[QUOTE="Roytaylorjasonfunglover, post: 992532, member: 166184"] As I understand the current scientific literature at the amount, this could very well be possible. What you have to remember is that type 2 diabetes is a very much genetic disease, that is brought on by excess bodyfat, of the wrong kind, but this extra weight can only cause diabetes if you are genetically predisposed to it. You can be severally obese with lots of extra weight, and never get diabetes, because you were lucky with your diabetes genes, but you can also have a bmi of 20 and have the disease, because just some kgs of extra fat put you over the diabetes threshold. This is very individual. A weightloss of 2.5 stone is very impressive, and this i probably what caused you to lose your diabetes. However, if you put back that weight on you will get diabetes again. Everybody has this personal fat threshold, and if they go over this, they will get diabetes. If they lose weight below this threshold, they will lose it again. Diabetes is a state on spectrum determined by your weight, and your genetics,and this is very individual. Below are some very good examples of this. [URL]http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122104219[/URL] Article about twins, one got diabetes the other does not, they had a weight difference of only 20 pounds when the diabetic one got diagnosed and the healthy was in danger of developing it. He lost some weight, and he has still not developed it. [URL]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/wellbeing/health-advice/i-reversed-my-diabetes-by-changing-my-diet/[/URL] Scottish mp who cured his diabetes by going on the newcastle diet. He still has some extra weight, but lost something like your weightloss and that was enough for his genetics. [URL]http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/may/12/type-2-diabetes-diet-cure[/URL] Journalist who lost his diabetes with a weightloss of 10 kgs, he was already skinny but had bad diabetes genes. he also has a personal website [URL]http://www.reversingtype2diabetes.com/[/URL] He updates it,and still is free from diabetes. So in short you can cure your diabetes as long as you are well below your personal fat threshold, go over it and you will develop it again. congratulations [/QUOTE]
