[QUOTE="Krystyna23040, post: 2194349, member: 374421"] Just to add to the excellent posts from [USER=505893]@Muddy Cyclist[/USER] , [USER=193971]@ianpspurs[/USER], [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER] and [USER=468536]@DJC3[/USER] - it's mentioned a lot in research the the longer we have T2D the less likely we will go into 'remission '. Someone like me - who is likely to have had diabetes for 20 years before going low carb - is highly unlikely to achieve remission . Luckily I did achieve remission and came off the insulin. I am under no illusion that it is going to be easy to maintain remission with such a damaged body. On the plus side - my right foot that had been moving up towards high risk is now at low risk and will probably soon be at no risk. All the feeling has now come back in the foot. So even if I do have to eventually go back on the insulin I will stay low carb which will mean that I will continue to enjoy having two feet - not like the unlucky 65 people a day on high carb who have a foot amputated. I had been feeling that if I had to go back on meds I had failed, but [USER=468536]@DJC3[/USER] pointed out to me that coming off insulin - even if it isn't forever - is still a success, as is keeping both feet.
