Are there various degrees of diabetes?

Some of my relatives, who are diabetic, eat rice (it's glycemic index is high) everyday. Nothing happens to them. Their blood sugar levels doesn't increase considerably. Only negligible increase is seen in them despite eating something like rice.

Some diabetic people eat low glycemic index millets yet their sugar levels increase. They have to take insulin injection.

Why such variations in response to foodstuffs?

The question is:

Their sugar levels are found to be near normal despite large amount of high glycemic food and sedentary lifestyle. Why then, have they been diagnosed with diabetes for so long? They should have been declared as cured and now normal by doctors. But the doctors continue to classify them as diabetics. Why so?

Diabetes is a chronic condition that usually needs ongoing management and is not curable in the traditional sense. However, some people may experience "remission" or "partial remission" of diabetes. This happens when the blood sugar levels stay within a normal range without the need for any medications or interventions used to manage diabetes.
