[QUOTE="Nyxks, post: 614321, member: 116204"] My mom's been diet controlled for 40 odd years and has never been on diabetic medication nor insulin not even when hospitalized she's now 80 and still diet controlled despite being bed ridden and waiting for a bed in a nursing home (she's dying). She did watch her carbs but she didn't low carb it by any means, nun of this LCHF or what ever it is, she followed the Canadian Food Guide paired with the nutritional info for the Canadian Diabetic Association. Her glucose at almost any given time checked is 5.2 and has been for the past 10 years of her life - it might spike to 5.5 but thats uncommon or drop to 4.6 but again thats uncommon. She doesn't test daily anymore, weekly is more common and once a month is the most common with a1c's dun by her GP every 3 months and they are always in the "normal" non diabetic range and have been for 10 years now. She use to only ever test 2 or 3 random times in a day unlike me who has to test 8 times a day to do being a insulin dependant T1. So it is possible to live a healthy life as a type 2 and never need medication or insulin, but its not common for many since many are not caught until complications are already in place and trying to get an older adult to change their lifestyle isn't always easy as it is when your younger to degrees.
