[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2007735"] Interesting question. I’ve never been given any all clear by my doctor, but honestly they’re not interested anyway, as they know I’m doing well. I have rock solid blood glucose, no dawn phenomenon, very low fasting insulin levels and a 0.3 HOMA-IR insulin resistance index, so most definitely not diagnosable as diabetic. I’m pretty certain that I’ll be having a review this summer, so I will discuss being taken off the register. Trouble is I will then have to pay for my own eye tests :watching: EDIT: come to think of it, my next HbA1c test, which will be markedly lower than the one in my signature, will be my second consecutive result in the non-diabetic range, so I would think an official revoking of my diabetic status will be forthcoming. Either way it’s gone and it’s most assuredly never coming back, because I won’t let it :cool: [/QUOTE]
