Hey everyone. I just posted a recent profile pic to let you all know as an update that my diabetes is still well under control. I'm still keeping my weight off and my A1c is 6.4.

Looking sharp, OP! Watch out, World--here comes antredd!
My most recent A1C was at 5.2 from as high as 7.3. My diabetes is NOT reversed and I highly doubt it ever will be. My medication is the basically the same as it's always been, but I follow a semi-strict low carb diet. If I go back to my old ways I am guaranteed to still have high A1C numbers.

That's a great number! You're obviously doing a lot that is right.
I was boozing heavily around 2002 and I noticed I was always thirsty/peeing.
A subsequent check-up revealed I had it, I forget what the [high] glucose number was.
What a GD drag it was to peruse an entire supermarket aisle of beloved cereals, reading the carb contents and then have to be denied all of them!
So, I quit drinking and went on an exercise routine, lost about 20lbs, about six months later I was declared okay.
Add me to the growing list of those in Type 2 remission.
It'll still spike as high as 125 the morning after I pig out on Häagen-Dazs and Reeses peanut-butter-cups-fest but when I return to a half-way sensible diet the glucose reading gets immediately knocked down to around 100.
And just some scolding here for any very-heavy drinkers out there: alcohol can be murder on our pancreas, which is our amazing little chemical manufacturing plant for insulin.

Not to mention the liver... Can't do without either one.

Yes. After the best ever lab result a couple of weeks back now it's a liver ultrasound. Flat out flunked the liver function test. It's getting old on this merry-go-round.
It's crucial to eat something before/while imbibing... I always had cheese & crackers before and during my evenings of fun.
My blood work is perfect these days, I can't understand it... I used to get FACED.
Here's a cute story. I was in the hospital with diverticulitis and the gastro doctor walks in while carrying/reading my bloodwork results.
He's looking sad, shaking his head and going "tsk tsk tsk...", I'm think holy ----, I'm in for it now....
I asked "What's wrong??!!".
He answered, "I wish I had numbers like these...".
