For the last 12 months or so my blood reports are of a non-diabetic profile, including the Glycoslated Hemoglobin

>What bugged me was that evidently there was no "out" of this medication regime.<

I'm not sure where you got that idea. Many times newly diagnosed diabetics are given meds/insulin to get them back into control, especially if their blood glucose levels are soaring, but once that control is reached, everything is re-evaluated. If the person can attain and maintain a normal BMI, is willing to exercise most days of the week, and has the psychological and financial wherewithal to eat a really healthy low carb diet, many (maybe most) times that person can be maintained with those lifestyle changes and no meds for quite a while. They'd still be considered diabetic and still would need twice-a-year blood work and doc's visits to make sure they're maintaining the status quo, but many on this list are doing well with no meds.

This is the A1c test we talk about all the time here, sometimes called the HbA1c.

>All the figures making up the Lipid profiles are below/above of what it should be be<

So you're doing well, at least for now. Good for you!

>and no BP.<

Well, I hope you have a BP... I'm assuming you meant BP is WNL.
