[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2062979, member: 196898"] Recently I was declared to be in clinical remission by a Consultant, I had had two annual HbA1c results that were below 48 and for a while I was off all my Diabetic medication. with non diabetic readings. While in this glorious state I found I was able to have forbidden goodies, and my bgl remained less than 7 mmol/l. I had double choc birthday cake to celebrate, and followed it with pecan croissants, and two jam donuts and my bgl did not skyrocket. I was waking with my fbg in the 5's everyday. I was surprised at being able to eat full meals with mashed potato or with pasta with apparent impunity. Unfortunately I had to go into hospital to have major heart surgery, and this resulted in me having to rub out the 'In Remission' statement in my profile, and go back to being a simple T2D on orals again. So I have now reversed my reversal. I liken it to driving a car out of a parking space. We can reverse back into the parking space, and that does not stop us from moving forward again, so reversal is not permanent in my opinion. A change of lifestyle is necessary to maintain a reversal status, but it is up to us to decide if we call that lifestyle a diet or a restriction, or simply a way of living. I happen to use an LC diet for my new lifestyle - it works for me, and provides a healthy nutrition base for me to live my life without feeling controlled. I am in control, yes, but it does not Control me. [/QUOTE]
