[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1734420, member: 219467"] Sorry I didn't see your original post. I think that Dr Fung has had successes with people with Type 2 who have been on long term insulin therapy but as with anyone who is currently taking strong medication weaning yourself off it will be more difficult than someone simply controlling with diet. I have no experience of your situation personally but I know that IDM (Dr Fung's practise) do offer a remote consultation and support service although I would imagine it is not cheap and there may be a wait. I would have to suggest you sit down and talk to your doctor about the approach you want to take and see if at least they will support you for a period of time (suggest something like 6 months) where you are monitored more closely. I say doctor rather than DN because I think doctors are permitted to "wander" from the script bit more. I would however suggest that you go in well educated on what you are proposing rather than it just being "something I saw on the internet". We can't advise you on what to do about meds but suggesting to the doc that you want to reduce yours should hopefully at least ensure you get a decent hearing. I wish you much luck. [/QUOTE]
