@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.

@mickj Instead of drunk, lets use the term alcoholic. If a person is a reformed alcoholic, they are still an alcoholic. Very few can stop at one drink, it’s a part of them. This is an interesting discussion. One of the articles said that the pancreas and liver, after strict dieting, can resume making insulin. If that happens and your body can then handle carbs, then you definitely have conquered diabetes.
