to come off my insulin injections for my type 2 diabetes
Is it possible or not? Is this goal hard to achieve or not? It depends on how long you have type 2 diabetes, which medications you take and mostly on your diet.
you can get off the injections if you are still producing your own insulin
That's right.
In most cases,
to come off insulin injections for type 2 diabetes is much easier than people commonly think. Many thousands of diabetics have already done it. They maintain their blood sugar levels near normal throughout the day without insulin injections , jusi with healthy lifestyle.
you have to follow a suitable low carb diet
It's the main thing you have to do. Eating "balanced" diet overloaded with carbs is the wrong choice.
The second is physical activity, avoiding sedentary lifestyle at any cost to turn off your insulin resistance. Some authorities recommend weight lifting training. I suggest you to google what is Chi running and give it a try.
And the last is metformin tablets, especially overnight, to have normal blood sugar next morning, to overcome the dawn phenomenon.
When is it impossible to get off insulin injections? It is the case if your pancreas is too exhausted and it does not produce enough insulin. It happens if your diabetes was poorly treated for a long time, at least several years. It means type 2 diabetes has transformed to type 1. Sulfonylureas medications often cause it, and also diet overloaded with carbohydrates.
Test your blood sugar in laboratory to learn how much insulin does your pancreas produce now. It's the blood analysis for C-peptide.
