[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1986319, member: 480869"] Well done on getting great numbers. However, I’m afraid I agree with the the gp. You do still have diabetes. You have controlled it by lifestyle as opposed to drugs. You have managed it or put it in remission. But have you cured it? I’d say unlikely. If you stopped your interventions your numbers would almost certainly climb again. If you got normal numbers with drugs would you considered yourself cured? Semantics possibly but if you are labelled cured then no annual checks for eyes and feet. No regular hb1ac to make sure you haven’t slipped or deteriorated. I’m pretty sure drs have an in remission label they can apply as opposed to resolved (cured). [/QUOTE]
