Cure, Remission, or Always Diabetic?

Can your diabetes be cured? Can it be put into remission? What exactly would determine those? 

According to the Mayo Clinic website your diabetes status is most commonly determined using a hemoglobin (A1C) test:

Below 5.7% is normal.

5.7% to 6.4% is prediabetes.

6.5% or higher is diabetes.

So you probably went most of your life well below 5.7%.

After years of eating too much carbohydrates, you are now at 6.5% or greater. You’re diabetic.

And now all of the websites tell you that there is no cure. It can only be ‘managed’?

Say What??

But… it says right there – if your blood glucose is below 6.5%, you don’t have diabetes, right? So if you do that, how is it you aren’t cured? 

You didn’t set the definition, they did. If you don’t meet the definition, you’re cured. 

This is the kind of illogical nonsense that pervades all of the diabetes websites.

Kind of like when your Covid test says you have Covid and next month your Covid test says you don’t. Are you cured? In remission? Or just managing your Covid? 

But I get it. The organizations don’t have to talk about cures. They know you’ll always be diabetic, because they will never tell you how to fix it. And they’ll give you a meal plan to make sure you don’t. 

But YOU can fix it. 

Diabetes is not a disease, it’s a poisoning, and it’s perpetuated by the very organizations that are supposed to help you. 

No more talk of cure or remission. That’s all a bunch of semantic blather.

Stop eating the poison and everything returns to normal.
