[QUOTE="Dudette1, post: 2338024, member: 506427"] Hi guys, I’ve read lots of stories about remission, but a question I can’t seem to find is, can you actually reverse it completely and eat what is considered normal (carbs) and your blood sugar stays within normal range. I’ve been low carb and my sugars are between 4.8 and 5.8 after meals. I understand if you put weight on and be glutinous there is a real possibility it will come back. I’m talking a Sunday dinner, odd bar of chocolate, chips for tea..not over indulge but having more carbs but exercising and keeping the weight down..I can’t imagine anyone wants to test this theory (or maybe secretly I do [emoji848]) but suppose curiosity is a thing for me tonight, it was because I ate a shortbread biscuit (it was amazing by the way [emoji23]) then guilt set in and I tested after 1 hour and was 5.1 then 2hours and I was 5.2 after dreading to look at the meter [emoji102] and being slightly shocked [emoji50]. I was 17stone 7lb I’m now 11st 9lb walk around 10 miles a day and can really see the difference in low carb, not as hungry lots of energy, but you know the feeling, I can’t be the only one who wants fish and chips sometimes, or a nice hot chocolate from costa, I don’t eat fast food anyway like McDonald’s and stuff because it taste like a rubber shoe in a bun Is it weight that can reverse it or is it just remission and that’s it. Or can moderation & keeping the weight off be, what I would call, back to how you were before diagnosis of diabetes. Sorry if this has been asked before. A link anyone could share for tonight’s reading if anyone has one. I was diagnosed as steroid induced after a chest infection if this makes any difference, thought was best to add that in. Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
