iam sure you will be able to stop insulin and come back to whatever drugs you have been taking and gradually even reduce/stop most of the drugs you are taking. i am a diabetic for the last 20 years or so. since my sugar was not coming in control, i decided to go for insulin. Fortunately took insulin for only 3 weeks or so. Now iam managing with low carbo diet. more details please read "medfree"i have posted my experiences also here on low carb diet.

There are many here who will give their experiences , but you must adopt what really goes well with your body since you have a history of 18yrs being diabetic .Have a sugar testing machine to start with and control rice/wheat and anything which adds to to your carbo intake . Go step by step and let the body get used to the new style of taking food...it is not easy but not difficult either . good luck satish
