Thanks @mickj for opening up this discussion. I wonder why doctors do not tell patients that diabetes can be reversed. I've never seen a book that is How to Reverse Diabetes. The books are about controlling it and what all you have to do. If every person who was pre-diabetic and diabetic stopped all the medicines and dieted to the right weight and exercised, then many doctors would be out of a job, and many pharmacies would not make the big bucks on medicines. I can't wait to ask my endo and see what his answer is.
It seems that people who have had a transplant of liver or pancreas are the ones who found it worked. I guess if the old organs couldn't work, then the donor organs took over and worked correctly again; thus, the reversal. This just fascinates me because I have had no fun fighting this disease and I have changed my lifestyle completely. Some people have had diabetes for decades and are still battling it. If everyone could erase diabetes from the medical books, we'd all be a lot happier.
