Hello,
I am also diabetic. Type 2. I was diagnosed earlier this year. It is going to take a little bit to come off insulin. Make sure you work with your doctor as much as possible. Also remember that when you do get your blood sugar under control, your diabetes will be in remission but you will always have diabetes type 2. If you return to former habits of eating, it will return.
That said, my diabetes has slowly come under control. I still sometimes run a blood sugar as high 130 in the mornings and I hope it continues to get better. I keep my carbs under 20 and follow old style Atkins. Welcome. Keep us updated.
