@retiredteacher In June, my HgA1c was 6.3, fasting glucose of 134. I had a transplant at the end of June, and thanks to some meds, my pre-meal glucose went as high as 263 in July. In November, my HgA1c was 4.6 and fasting glucose of 85. And I still take meds that are not friendly to my liver and kidneys. So maybe, just maybe, it really is possible. This was done through diet and exercise. I eat no sugar or other refined carbs. None. I also exercise at least 5 hours/week with an average heart rate of 140-145, sleep 7-8 hours/day, and drink at least 4 liters of water/day. And the results are what the results are. I went from pre-diabetic/borderline diabetic to clearly not diabetic in 5 months.
For a doctor to tell a patient, "Once a diabetic, always a diabetic" is just flat wrong. Does a person have hypertension if they once were 185/120 but are now 115/75? Or from a more personal slant, is a person obese if they once had a BMI of 38 but now have a BMI of 21? If so, I sure look pretty slim for an obese person.
Watch Dr. Robert Lustig's "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" on YouTube. Let me know what you think.
