[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2381659, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=540148]@Zama[/USER], I was another of those T2 diabetics, who has been told at diagnosis that I would have no choice but to go onto insulin with blood sugars as high as mine. Three months later after going low carb/keto, blood sugars dropped from an HbA1c of 100 to an HbA1c of 34. Drops like this are not uncommon on this forum as you've already seen in the post of [USER=460785]@xfieldok[/USER]. So, it's definitely possible to get back to normal levels and eliminate insulin and all other diabetes-related medication over time. However, tbh it is probably not a good idea to walk around with uncontrolled high blood sugar levels as you are probably doing right now (we are not allowed to medical advice, but possibly insulin might still be warranted at this point). I also agree with [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] -- a blood glucose meter is a very good idea to keep a check on your blood glucose levels while you change your diet. Low carb/keto can have a significant impact on blood sugar levels and it is possible that insulin at one point might drop them into too low. Ideally, you will want to work with your GP/nurse on this.
