Actually my doctor told me that I have type1 diabetics. I started losing weight from last six months, it was the same time when I moved abroad. I thought it was because of the change in place and some diet control I had during the time, but when it was in line of 20 KG, (from 89 to 72kg), I am 5'10, i decided to get myself checked. I got my blood and urine checks done and few abnormal things were Glucose (2.0g/dL) and ketones(100mg/dL) in urine, HbA1c 16.1 (yes, that is sixteen), total cholesterol 286, triglycerides 759 and VDLD cholesterol 151, the test was done on 21st May. I went to an endocrinologist and he advised me to start with insulin, Ryzodeg(12 units in morning and 10 in night) and Novarapid (6 units in afternoon). After continuing it for 10 days, I got my c-peptide done which was 0.5. In the meantime I changed by lifestyle by eating better and exercising, I was not happy about insulin shots but I took them anyways. then on 7th night I had to travel to banglore and I forgot my insulin injection. So I was not able to take it till 9th when I returned, my reading were all normal without insulin. I got my tests done again on 9th June and there was an improvement. Total cholestrol 128, triglycerides 65, VDLD 13, HbA1c 12.8, no ketone or glucose in urine. So I thought of an experiment and stopped the insulin. My readings have been around normal (89-175 range since 8th June).So am I a type 1 diabetics who would need to be insulin dependent or I can do away with that and lead a normal life if I have a strict routine of life ?

Might be your honeymoon period, where your pancreas is providing you with some insulin erratically. I would keep a very close eye on your blood sugars and speak to your health care proffesional about this.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Hate to burst your bubble, but it sounds like the Honeymoon phase to me too. I am not a physician and cannot tell you what to do. However, I can tell you to closely monitor your glucose. Then monitor some more.
I see your C-Peptide is low, so you weren’t making much insulin. Did they do the antibody testing?
