[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1669783, member: 406880"] Welcome back [USER=438800]@Grateful[/USER]! You were missed! There are definitions in the literature for acute and chronic illness. An acute illness is of short duration, cured by a course of medication as [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] said above. A chronic illness is generally defined as one that last 3 months or longer, including conditions that have periods of remission and periods of relapse. The conceptualization of a chronic illness may be slightly different among various different stakeholders, such as the individuals living with the condition, public policy makers, public health officials, academics, and the medical community. We all have different vantage points. Here is a link to a good article: [B]‘Use Your Words Carefully: What Is a Chronic Disease?’[/B] [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4969287/pdf/fpubh-04-00159.pdf[/URL] As many have mentioned above, the most important conceptualization we have is our own: what diabetes means to us personally, and what our own definitions are for cure/remission/relapse/control etc. For me, at this point in time, I see T2DM as a condition that I have managed to control well with HFLC diet and eating to my meter. I also believe that epigenetics play a part: many of us may very well have a genetic predisposition to develop T2DM under the right environmental circumstances, and that the dietary guidelines from 1980, based on very questionable science, created those very circumstances. I don’t really get caught up in the semantics: Sugar is a toxin for me and I try to avoid it as much as possible in any of its guises.;) [/QUOTE]
