[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1638885, member: 41816"] These two comments really stood out for me: "In this study, the team defined remission as having blood glucose levels (HbA1c) below 6.5% (48mmol/mol) after 12 months, with at least 2 months without any Type 2 diabetes medications." and “If you’re thinking about trying a low-calorie diet, it’s really important you speak to your GP and get referred to a dietitian. This is to make sure you get tailored advice and support. It’s also important to bear in mind that if you’re treating your Type 2 diabetes with certain medications, such as insulin or sulphonylurea, a low-calorie diet can make [URL='https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Complications/Hypos']hypos[/URL] more likely. So you’ll need support to make changes to your medications and check your blood sugar levels more often.” According to the first statement I have 'been in remission' for the last 4 years, without significant weight loss - and I would not DREAM of describing myself as 'remissed' or 'reversed' or anything like. And I wish the second statement was in Neon Flashing Lights. Far too many people launch into this kind of severe diet without medical assessment, supervision or monitoring. Although, to be honest, I think you can get better dietary advice from other sources than the NHS. However, having said all of that, I totally agree with you [USER=142835]@himtoo[/USER] The more ACCURATE, sensible coverage this study gets, the better, because even a 46% remission rate is a fab thing, for the 46% [/QUOTE]
