[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2423594, member: 196898"] As a #T2D that [B]did[/B] progress over 10 tears to the point of being referred for insulin therapy. and as I have said on other threads, my bgl was way out of control even when maxed out on gliclazide and Metformin, then I would have been just another statistic indeed. However, I found this website here and changed my lifestyle, and have been in good control for some 7 years now. I have minimised my medication and can eat toast and tatties again without feeling guilty. I am a single (n=1)_ example of why the NICE guidelines are wrong for many T2D, and that often it can be a recoverable condition. There are many testaments on this site claiming similar reversals, so I know I am not unique. Recently I had to go into hospital where I was placed back on the NHS idea of a 'healthy diet' known as Eatwell that is the low-fat high-carb diet like wot I used to follow. When I came out my bgl control had dissolved into mush, and I had to start again. Had I continued with the NHS diet, then I would indeed progress back to requiring insulin therapy, but as it is I have regained my lifestyle and control within a week of discharge. My beta cells are still functional and responding to the demands of my diet. [/QUOTE]
