[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 522299, member: 33342"] OGTT is fairly brutal. But honestly if he wants to say cured, then they need to have a normal BG response to a regular diet. However, the OGTT is a standard diagnostic tool and - together with HbA1c - is the most obvious measure of diabetic control. Just one off would be good enough - I'd hope that having been through the diabeetus once that no-one would be silly enough to catch it twice. Remember, the goal posts that the medical community set for "normal" HbA1c are set fairly wide - HbA1c of 6.5% (or something). When they say "cured" they don't mean "back to normal". I'd bet most of the Newcastle Diet survivors wouldn't pass the OGTT, but then I'm cynical about everything ;) [/QUOTE]
