I'm glad to hear that your BG levels are normal! I somewhat disagree with the notion that diabetes never goes away -- I think a lot of it depends on the individual. But you are correct... most people "reverse" their high BG by following the LC lifestyle. I can have a carb blowout and my BG levels are probably better than most normal people now. I suppose that I also have the age advantage on my side. The younger you are, the easier it is to reverse a condition. However, if I put the weight back on and start eating junk carbs, then I will be right back at the drawing board. I'm still trying to make my favorite desserts as LC as possible, but it's nice to know that I can have a "sugary" treat and my body can handle the load.

The LC WOE is by far the best way to maintain good health. I'll never go back to my old lifestyle. When I was eating all the carbs (rice, potatoes, bread, etc.) I was going back for seconds or thirds, and then I would be hungry an hour later. Ever since I started the LC lifestyle, I am generally full all the time, my mood/attitude is much better and I feel great! I just wish that more people would adapt this lifestyle. It truly is a blessing.
