Your so-called doctor needs a severly vicious kick in the crotch. There is not the remotest chance
that diabetes will go away just because you lose weight. This is not to say that you shouldn't lose
weight, of course you should. Heart attack, thrombosis, stroke - excellent reasons to get weight and
blood pressure down.

I hope you do well.

Thanks, Reisa, I admit I never checked the site, but I have now.

According to the site you listed, you are a spammer, but in case someone new is reading this thread.

Diabetes can be controlled.

Diabetes can't "go away".

But you can.

Diabetes does not go away. If that's what your Drs. are telling you, I'd suggest you find new ones.
Yours don't seem to know what they're talking about.

Hi,

Diabetes can't "go away".

It may sound ridiculous, but my grandmother was diagnoses with T2-diabetes when she was 20 years
old. She had fasting BG >140 mg/dl but after having this disease for more than 1 year the
"symptoms" vanished without delivering any reason for this strange behaviour. She then had normal
values throughout all day and no diabetes could be diagnosed any more. She happily lived some 40
years without having any problems. When she was 60 years old Type-2 diabetes re-mainfested and she
still has it.

Just wondering.

Michael

Well... I guess 1 out of 8 million people could have that happen ; )

Also, since it was so long ago, her initial diagnosis could have been in error. No meters back then.

In the early days after my Type 2 diagnosis I soon found that you can develop a false sense of
security by measuring your bg at times when it is lower. I was getting quite good readings at the
times my doctor suggested, and thought that my diabetes was well and truly under control, if not
eliminated. Deciding one day to measure my bg not two hours after eating, but one, I soon saw that
my diabetes was well and truly going strong! (got a 14 after eating an unhealthy burger). My HbA1c
also confirmed that this disease wasn't going away. After that I became more careful with my
measurements, using them to monitor the effect of various foods and excercise routines on my bg,
rather than follow blindly the measurement times recommended by my doctor.

Diabates does not go away. Looking after it is a full time job, and it usually pays by prolonging
your life.

Hi Henry,

I've noticed a number of posters relying on the two-hour reading. YMMV, but I've found that my one
hour is a much better indicator. At two hours I'm generally normal again (between 5 and 5.8 or 90
and 105) if my one hour is 6 or 7. If I have a very high - over 9 (160) - one hour I can actually be
heading low under 4 (70) at two hours. Although I don't do that very often now.

Some articles have been referenced here indicating that the peak is commonly at 45 minutes, subject
to GI and fat modifiers, so two hours would appear to be a little late. I'm afraid I don't have the
references handy, some googling needed if you want them.

I don't bother with a two hour test nowadays unless the one hour was unusual.

There are a few exceptions. One is diabetes brought on by a medication, like Prednisone. This can
be a temporary situation that goes away once the drug is stopped, or a while after the drug is
stopped. Another exception is a thyroid problem. We used to have a poster here who claimed that his
wife was diagnosed with type 2, but once she got her thyroid problem under control, the diabetes
seemed to go away. I have a thyroid problem and I know that the control of my diabetes wildly
fluctuates along with my thyroid. If I am hyper thyroid, I am hypoglycemic most of the time. If a
person has other medical problems on top of the diabetes, anything can happen. But as a general
rule, it doesn't go away.

I do find it odd that your grandma was diagnosed at age 20 with a fasting of

Quoted message said:

140. Now granted that is vague because we don't know her actual numbers.

But since we know she was re-diagnosed at age 60, that leaves a gap of 40 years. They didn't have
meters 40 years ago. There was no way for a diabetic to know what their BG was. They could only do
urine tests and that only indicated if they had really high BG and were passing sugar in their
urine. Standards for diagnosis used higher numbers 40 years ago than they do now. And lastly,
symptoms of diabetes don't tell us much. Your BG can be wildly out of control and have no symptoms.
Or you could have slightly elevated numbers and a whole slew of symptoms. Your grandma may well have
continued to have diabetes, but wasn't testing herself. And she might have modified her diet enough
so that she didn't have high BG when routine or random testing was done.

Diabetes runs on both sides of my family. My Mom has been a devout low carber for as long as I can
remember. She did have one high BG test at the
Dr. Her Dr. wanted to test further for diabetes, but she refused, stating that she didn't have it.
Her reasoning was that she has just eaten so "of course" her BG was high. She continues to do
the low carb. Nobody in the family knows whether or not she has diabetes and we probably won't
know unless the Dr. can somehow get her tested. My brother, Dad, and I all have meters. So it's
not like she couldn't test. She just won't. She could probably make the statement of "Gee... I
had diabetes on that one day. But now I don't!" But that doesn't mean the statement is true.

Hi,

thanks for your informative answers. My grandmother wasn't pregnant at that time, so I would rule
out gestational diabetes that just went away after pregnancy. My grandma says that she was diagnosed
with diabetes but didn't have the time to care and felt for some 12 months just like something would
be wrong insider her. But then the symptoms vanished and seh was re-diagnosed when she was more than
60 years old. Her doc wanted to give her insulin but she refused and then had some more or less
vilent quarrels with her doc about that. I urged her to let him make HBA1c and as it showed that it
was only 6.0 the doc agreed that insulin would be unneccesary, although he was some sort of angry
because my grandmother knew this top-secret value.

Long live old prussia and old-fashioned docs who believe that blood-values should be hidden from
patients, so that they do not have a chance to critisize those men in white ...

Michael

That is interesting. But it never actually went away, it was just sleeping. I would be interesting
to find out (via a time machine) exactly what she did to cause it to come back.
