[QUOTE="Kailee56, post: 1933033, member: 437516"] Totally agree with [USER=277199]@kokhongw[/USER]. Hopefully your doctor also gave you a glucometer or instructions to get one. If not, please get a glucometer, strips, and lancets. Since the effectiveness of your Diabetes management revolves around your blood glucose, you can’t know how you are doing without that information. Test often, especially at first, so you can see how foods and activities effect your glucose and how glucose effects the way you feel. As to your initial question, yes, but that is not an absolute. You will find lots of people here who manage their diabetes with oral medications and diet, never needing insulin. You will also find a large group who are considered to be in remission, eating low carb and losing weight. BTW. Welcome. This is a great place. Read the forums and ask questions. There is a lot of information and lots of people to support you on this journey. You can do this. :) [/QUOTE]
