I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic in July 2004 with an A1C of 8.1%. Since then I have been very mindful of diet, exercise, and weight loss, and my A1C’s have fluctuated within the 6%’s. I do not take any medication or insulin for control. Much to my joy, my last A1C was 5.9%! I understand this number to be technically within the non-diabetic range, and if my glucose readings over the past 90 days are any indication, I fully expect my A1C to drop even lower. Is it possible I could become a non-diabetic, or am I simply a diabetic under great control?
"once a diabetic always a diabetic"
How ever your results are fantastic.It shows what can be done.
You have taken advice and taken responsibility for yourself. you have stopped your diabetes from progressing and decreased dramatically the chance of complications.
you must continue with the combination of diet and exercise and maintain a healthy weight.The exercise is important as this enables the muscles to use the sugars.By exercising you reduce your insulin resistance .
Well done
