@contentandwell Is a person a drunk if they have a glass of wine at dinner? If they have 6 glasses, you bet, they're a drunk. But if they only have 1 glass, does that mean they are a drunk but just controlling their intake?

Sorry, probably not the best example, but I think the point you are making is that if you were once a diabetic, then you will always have a higher risk of being a diabetic. I think that's probably true, as chronic damage may have been done to your pancreas.

In the perfect world, we'd all have a glucose monitor attached to us measuring blood glucose every hour of so. Then we'd know exactly which foods are the problem. We wouldn't need to do it long-term. Maybe a month or so would be plenty of time. I have not done this yet, but intend to in the not-too-distant future.
