That's wonderful news, Anne! I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but my doctor gave me the chance to get it under control with diet and lifestyle, and so far it's working very well. The adjustments that I made for the sugar also make me feel a lot better overall. Just cutting out all the white flour (breads), white pasta (actually I rarely ever eat any pasta anymore, I use spaghetti squash instead now) and lowering my portions of rice, potatoes and sweets have all made an enormous difference. I even lost close to 30lbs in the past year, without much effort really. I just wish I could drum up the discipline to do more exercise.

Anyway, I don't see why diet and lifestyle won't keep the diabetes under control for the rest of your/our lives...if it's working now, why shouldn't it work later?! I'm hoping that as we are able to give our pancreas a break from having to keep up with our insulin needs (ie, when we weren't living as healthfully), it might actually heal itself.
