15 months ago I was taking 100 units of insulin a day in 4 separate shots.

Reduced carbs week 1 and dropped it in half to 40-50 units. Went full blown low carb <20 grams carbs week 2 and dropped insulin to zero. Dropped Actos soon thereafter. Dropped Metformin later. Blood sugar control better than it has been since diagnosed diabetic twenty or twenty-five years ago. Pretty much flat now. No insulin shots for over a year now.

Taking exogenous insulin is horrible for the body (except for a type I who has to have some insulin because they make none - but even type I can benefit from low carb eating).

Thanks for your input. Seems like you have a good understanding of the process.
