[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2007646"] Well certainly we are all encouraged to hold our own views. Personally I feel that if a doctor cannot make a clinical diagnosis of diabetes then I don’t have diabetes. Carbohydrate intolerance is not diabetes. Diabetes (T2) is caused by hyperinsulinemia and is diagnosed by hyperglycaemia. If I have neither then I fail to see how I have diabetes. It’s raining outside but I’m not wet because I’m indoors. If I follow the same “traditional” diet as my friends, then yes my diabetes will probably come back, but it’ll only be the same diet I ate my whole life. Does that mean I’ve always had diabetes? Before I was diabetic I was slowly becoming diabetic by eating a “traditional” diet. Was I born with it? Perhaps a matter of perspective, but if I’d always eaten what I do now then it would never have happened...would I always have been diabetic even if I hadn’t got it? ;) Each to their own, and whatever gets us through the day :D [/QUOTE]
