I was diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome, which includes T2 in 2008. After losing 6st through Slimming World diet and exercise, I have gone from 2 Byetta injections & 1500g metformin a day to no meds for the past 6yrs.
In 2014, I was told by my endo consultant that I was now one of 1% of people who had reversed their diabetes. He said that I will always be Diabetic but I am not symptomatic. He has never mentioned a Glucose Tolerance Test. I have HbA1c done every 6 months and see my endo every 2yrs. I am now on LCHF diet and am on the way to losing 7st
HbA1c sits from 5.1-5.3 (32-34) and most days it's 4.8-5.0
So I wouldn't ever use the word "cured"
