[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1451312, member: 24561"] Hello. :) I'm one (of many I'm sure) that used to inject insulin. It took a long time to wean myself off it - because due to insulin resistance I was injecting lots - and it involved an increasingly low carb diet and lots of patience. It only really works if you use a carb counting regime to calculate how many units of fast acting insulin to inject. Basically as you reduce carbs you reduce fast acting insulin and - at the same time - very, very slowly reduce the background insulin all the while repeatedly testing your BG. At each reduction waiting a few days before the next reduction to be sure your levels are stable - it's no good attempting it unless your levels are stable. It took a couple of months to get down to losing numbers without insulin but it was worth the hassle. Of course you should seek advice from your HCP before starting this. :) [/QUOTE]
