[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1735385, member: 196960"] It is possible to reduce your insulin need then maybe stopping insulin but when I tried I still needed huge basal insulin due to my heavy weight. I will try again after bariatric surgery. Even though I'm hugely insulin resistant compared to your insulin need. Are you over-weight? Losing weight is the best start anyone can give themselves trying to come off insulin in those who aren't needing at least some insulin because of no insulin being produced. Even some type1s with no own produced insulin can go very very low insulin units on low carb eating. Especially not over weight ones. I'm not sure how healthy that is thou. [/QUOTE]
