[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 862493, member: 21149"] Hi. It all depends on how advanced your diabetes is and whether you are overweight or not. Most T2s on insulin will be overweight and have insulin resistance. Stopping the insulin will cause a blood sugar rise but probably not catastrophic as the body will actually be producing insulin but unable to use it easliy. If you are not overweight then you may not even be a T2 but a LADA (often mis-diagnosed). In this case a lot would depend on how much your pancreas is failing. If it was in a bad state then your blood sugar would rise very rapidly over several days/weeks and you could end up with Ketoacidosis which is not a good thing to have i.e. you might die. If you are overweight then do try a low-carb diet and this could reduce your weight and insulin needs [/QUOTE]
