[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2200066, member: 345386"] John, whilst we do have medical professional using our site, they'd are not permitted to give medical advice. It is covered in our rules. There I see a link to those in my signature. In. Terms of this holy grail of remission, reversal, cure, or whatever you choose to call it, there are many definitions around, but even none of those are definitive. Personally, I have never taken any medication to help with my T2, but my reduced carb way of eating reduced my diagnostic A1c from 73 to 37 in short order and my last was 27. I can pass an OGTT, without carbing up, but that's me. I seem to have got a bit lucky. My fasting insulin levels, when tested showed little insulin resistance, although I'll likely rerun that sometime soon. After over 6 years of low carbing, I stick with it. That I can pass the tests I describe doesn't mean I would necessarily be able to eat as I wish over any length of time, and I'm content enough not pushing that envelope. Other T2s find they can go back to eating whatever they wish, without trouble, but they tend to drift away from the site over a period. That is obviously their choice, so I'm not sure I could I identify a current member who had a T2 diagnosis who routinely eats very highly carb foods, day in and day out, without concerns or blood sugar repercussions, but there may be folks lurking who will chip in. Good luck with whatever approach you adopt. [/QUOTE]
