Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 1798598" data-attributes="member: 196898">Whilst I can accept that argument when applied to symptoms, I do not think it can yet be applied to the condition known as Diabetes per se.This is what the Oxford Dictionary defines for Reversal:A change to an opposite direction, position, or course of action.So a change in diet or lifestyle from say Eatwell could be covered by this word.  The word can also apply to the progession of the symptoms of T2D, but I think it is too early to apply it to the condition itself, since there may be long term effects that we are currently unaware of that might prove that even with rigid control, the disease will still progress in a damaging way. or that the new lifestyle may induce other comorbidities / collateral damage.We have seen some posts here from people who have used treatment such as ND diet or LC diet to reverse their symptoms, and earn the Reversed badge of honour, but who later on have admitted that going back to their old ways proved to be just as damaging as before, and demonstrates that their symptoms can be controlled but not cured by reversing their dietary regime.  It is early days yet, and we may see other effects creeping in.  I am concerned that some are reporting iron deficiency anemia, others having gallstone problems, and what about CVE?  we do not have a robust enough database yet to declare these new lifestyles to be totally without problem and fully safe to use.The same dictionary has the following for RemissionA temporary diminution of the severity of disease or pain.A thesaurus check on both words shows neither is synonymous with the other so they are not interchangeable.</blockquote>
