Questions unasked

Hello,

Long time lurker.

I have type 2 diabetes, a year ago I was 308lbs, with a 7.3 a1c and I was testing in the 300s before I was put on anything.

After taking Metformin for a year (2x500 morning and night), losing 30lbs I went to the doctors and my a1c was 5.5 and when they pricked me I was at 95. Doctor is taking me off the medication now.

He seemed genuinely shocked and I never know what to ask when I am there.

Does this mean I am no longer type 2 and just high risk, or borderline diabetic? I realize if I eat badly and gain weight I will go right back, but what does this mean today?

Thanks,
