Can I ever stop using insulin?
You must address this question to the doctor who prescribed insulin for you! You should also ask: (1) Have I got type 1 diabetes? If so, you will need insulin for life (although a honeymoon period of very low dose insulin or no insulin at all can occur in the first year of insulin use). (2) Have I got insulin requiring type 2 diabetes? In this case, insulin may not be a life sentence, because there may be other treatments to help blood sugar control and help to achieve significant weight loss, including bariatric surgery and/or GLP1 agonist injections (Byetta, Trulicity, etc.). (3) Have I got a rare type of diabetes (monogenic diabetes or secondary diabetes)? This needs expert specialist advice. TAW READ MORE

What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
