If it's working for him, indefinitely. Remember, he's still diabetic, just no longer insulin dependant. I know from experience how easy it is to slip up and let him go back to bad habits and then fall out of remission.

Thanks, Tricia....so glad I will have you and others to ask about remission .....like ur explanation of "still diabetic, just no longer insulin dependent" ....would love to hear what I need to watch out for so I don't slip up and go back to " bad habits"....what would examples of bad habits be ??? What do I need to do to keep Elmo off insulin ??? He really behaved and went thru all the pokes and shots far better than I would have imagined but at 17 want to make sure I'm doing all I can to keep him from never going thru this again. He has earned a relaxed, simple senior season .

Keep him away from high carb food and treats, and NEVER give him dry food. That was my mistake. Cinco was a kibble addict (I imagine that's what he survived on when he was a stray - dry food left out for neighbors indoor/outdoor cats). I let him have a little after he had been in remission a while. He fell out of remission, and although I later learned he had an infection that most likely caused that, my giving him dry food almost certainly contributed to it.

Watch for the tell tale signs of FD - drinking and peeing a lot, being abnormally hungry, weight loss, etc. Test regularly - at minimum once a month (I'd do it once a week myself, but I am a recovering testaholic).
