I'm a bit late to this one. I would have said "Reversed". This is due to the use of Metformin (not a criticism), however "Diabetes Mellitus In Remission" is an official term your surgery apply to your diabetes status and it appears the interim statements say remission is without medication. The other site say this (
https://www.diabetes.org.uk/professionals/position-statements-reports/statement-remission-type2):
"We say remission is when someone's blood glucose levels are maintained at a normal range, without the use of diabetes medication to lower blood glucose levels. This doesn't mean the symptoms of diabetes can't come back and it's essential to keep having regular healthcare checks, such as retinal (eye) screening. There's currently no evidence to suggest that remission is permanent – that's why we don't call it a cure, or anything else that suggests it's a permanent situation."
The NHS refer to the above also:

This site says (
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/put-diabetes-into-remission-with-low-carb.html):
"Definition: Remission is said to occur if blood glucose levels return to normal without the need for diabetes medications."
Mine is just an opinion of procedure / officialdom, what would you expect from a techy. Perhaps consider getting your surgery to rubber stamp your remission, as you do deserve it with the amount of low HbA1c's consecutively - I think you would get this on request (but might have to stop Metformin to get this officially).
@britishpub, could you also please consider re-instating your correct status, you are entitled to your opinion and why should that affect the status that is equal to you.
