[QUOTE="zand, post: 1879655, member: 85197"] lol I was just about to mention that! OK maybe I should spend longer planning these threads so of mine before starting them. :rolleyes: I tend to agree that normally you would expect remission to be drugfree. However for the purposes of this thread if someone achieves remission whilst still using drugs that's fine. The idea of the thread was to give newbies choices and if the preference is to use drugs and/or supplements then I think that option should be included here. The only thing I would say about achieving remission using certain drugs which increase insulin output from the pancreas or using insulin itself is that one has to be careful whilst making judgements on how good the regime is because the HbA1c result could be skewed by a lot of hypos and highs averaging out to a non-diabetic HbA1c, yet the person could still be having damage done by the high BGs whilst having life threatening hypos to average the HbA1c to a reasonable level. For me, the whole point of trying to achieve remission is to try to stay healthy and without diabetic complications for as long as possible so having a 'false low' HbA1c created by drugs wouldn't be a good idea, but if someone's BGs stay relatively stable and there aren't massive peaks and troughs in BGs then yes I would like to hear from them.
