[QUOTE="Stewboy, post: 1191424, member: 309380"] Hi all, I embarked on a low carb diet after years of having it drummed into me for more than 30 years by my diabetes Doctors that I must use carbs in order to control my diabetes. (My weight causing problems) Having now lost 2 1/2 stone using the diet and increasing my exercise regime I am feeling fitter and healthier than I have in years. As a result of these improvements my insulin usage has been reduced from 2 x 20 units per day to 2 x 6 units per day with my glucose levels being low enough sometimes that I don't need to take any at all. In view of this can anyone in the forum advise me if it may be possible to come off insulin and have alternative medication and if so what is available? [/QUOTE]
