Twenty years ago doctors were forbidden from saying "diabetes can be reversed". About ten years ago this started to change. So what's the answer, CAN it be reversed? Well strictly speaking, controlled. But the POINT is that a lot of type2 diabetes *can* be controlled by diet and exercise, generally without going to any extremes, and those people can live the rest of their lives with no particular handicaps and no prescription drugs. That's pretty good "control"!

So how many manage that? Well me, not quite. I still take my metformin, but as for the rest I keep my A1C below 5.7 as long as I don't cheat TOO much on diet and weather allows me my extensive walking.
