To my mind anything we are doing and which would lead to a full blown return to a diabetic state if we stopped doing it is a therapeutic intervention and should be counted as such. I see far too many people equating reversal / remission (or whatever else we want to call it) with a return to being able to eat whatever they wantSorry, disagree. I don't think you can put stopping doing something damaging to your health in the same bracket as taking medications or having surgery. Many of us change our diet at various times in our lives (eg adopt or give up vegetarianism, learn to cook or live out of the local takeaway). Stopping doing something that is bad for you (and arguably for most people, diabetic or not) is simply a lifestyle choice.

Edit
I would see the suggestion of the ability to get non diabetic responses to OGTT ( possibly repeated over a period of a few years ) as signifying meaningrul remission / reversal
