Mr. Thanks for the query. When proper medication is being taken with correct diet and exercise, blood glucose does come under control. That does not mean that your earlier report was wrong. It only means she is having a controlled diabetes. Please check her HbA1c%, that gives an idea of control over previous 3 months. If you are in doubt, then get an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) done, that will give a clear idea about her status of diabetes. Usually diabetes once diagnosed remains for lifetime, hence treatment is required throughout. Thanks.
