Off insulin, doctor's advice

[kayboy92!]

I was diagnosed with T1 6 months ago, my fasting reading was 12.8. Started taking insulin (Actraphane) for about 2 months nd kept getting hypos aftr almst every 2 hours. Was adviced to decrease the dosage bt still didn't help. Went for a second opinion, was given novomix, the same happened. Had Hypos for that month untill I was adviced to stop insulin intake. It has been almst 3 months off insulin and my levels are normal. I excercise. My worry is that I read about the risks of not having my daily dose bt my doctor still advices I stop and monitor my levels. Help!

Hello,
What kinds of food do you eat? Ie intake of carbs per day?

Hi. You only need insulin to control your blood sugar. If it remains within a sensible range without insulin then you don't need it.

If you are definitely type 1 then it could be that your pancreas is working fine for the time being. (Honeymoon period) Once your pancreas starts to splutter again you will need to restart insulin.
