Congratulations!

I (and possibly others also with Type 2 diabetes) would be very interested in knowing more information: over what period of time had you been diagnosed with diabetes, what was your medication regime, were you on insulin or is the reference to no more shots to something other than insulin), how high were your non-compliant readings, etc.

I don't mean to strike a negative note, but I would be surprised to learn of a doctor who on the basis of one week of normal readings and on the basis of a four week period of changed lifestyle (I assume the low carb, IF approach of Dr. Fung) would support a conclusion that one's diabetes is reversed (as opposed to temporarily managed or controlled), or recommend a complete cessation of diabetes medication. On the basis of a three month A1C reading perhaps, but a week contradicts what I understand to be appropriate protocol.

You can definitely keep it up, but you've got to keep it up, if you go back to your previous way of living your numbers will go right back. It's not gone, just controlled. And do keep testing, because if you are ill or stressed those numbers can climb unexpectedly due to cortisol (stress hormone) causing insulin resistance. Best of luck to you! What you did makes a huge difference to your chance of a long life!
