Type 2 runs in the maternal side of my family, Mum and Gran had it and were not overweight . I was diagnosed last year and yes , I admit that I was overweight , I ate healthily, but too much ! I told the nurse that I wanted to try diet and exercise, she was sceptical, but I went ahead and over a period of 9 months, have lost 4 stones, HbA1c in the 5`s , BG is good but only as long as I eat the right foods ! At my last visit earlier this week , the nurse said that she didnt need to see me for 4 months and quote Your Diabetes has gone away unquote . Now , I always thought that once diagnosed , you had this blasted disease for life and that you might control it well but it was always lurking ?  I was pleased with her words at first, until it struck me that they were rather dangerous words , they could lead to some people resuming their previous eating plan in the false knowledge that they were cured !</p></blockquote><p></p>
