[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2283670, member: 372717"] If you are T2, you may be able to drop the medication, but you'll always be at risk of returning symptoms if you eat too many carbs. So I'd talk about remission rather than a cure. And though T1s have to inject, in some ways they have more freedom than T2s, because they can inject for that piece of birthday cake or that pizza, whereas most drug free T2s can't ever dare to eat them. So there's pros and cons. I actually don't have any issues with injecting insulin, I've been doing it for 50 years, it's the hypos I hate the most.:) Anyway, you sound like you've got the right attitude to get on top of it, whichever type of diabetes it is. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
