Congratz! That is awesome! Yes once a diabetic always a diabetic or at least prone to relapse. Since Fat cells feed on insulin cells in our blood which is the cause of diabetes for most T2 diabetics, it is possible to go into a sort of "remission" for lack of better word. If you lose the weight and remain in a healthy lifestyle of exercise (which releases insulin into the body) and not eating processed sugars you can live a normal healthy life without meds.

Because our bodies will no longer be fighting against having insulin in our blood, when you lose the excess weight, it is possible to have no signs of T2 diabetes anymore. I think from what I have been told we can have a treat here in there if we practice moderation and healthy living once you lose weight and get into normal ranges on your A1C.
