I hate to be the bearer of bad news but once you have diabetes you pretty much always have diabetes. I have seen some people eat an extremely low carb diet and exercise an extreme amount come off of their medications but I am not sure it was with a drs supervision or not.

I personally don't think extreme low carb is healthy though. I do pretty much whats recommended. 45 grams of carbs per meal (for females) and 15 grams of carbs per snack. My diabetes has gotten worse though or the metformin has lost its effectiveness and I had to be put on a second medicine. Personally I wish they would just put me on insulin and stop fooling around with these pills.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you cant just not have diabetes once its started. It just don't work that way. There is no magical cure.

PS don't just go off your diabetes medicine because diabetes is serious and can, and probably will, mess your body up. Mine has started working on my kidneys and also my eyes. I am leaking protein in my urine now but I have yet to see the kidney dr to see how bad it is (they are real backed up and its hard to get an appointment.) I have a year, maybe two left till I have to have eye surgery on both of my eyes due to cataracts. The eye dr said the diabetes made them grow much faster than they would have if I didn't have this crap.

So don't just go off the medication. Diabetes can cause you to loose a leg and a whole lot of other problems. Hugs
I am on insulin but I want to switch back to metformin, My doctor said I could but I have to get a blood test first to make sure my kidneys are alright, I have Diabetes 2 and my doctor told me if I lost so much weight and started eating right and excersing I could be diabetic free, I dont follow my 45 carb diet like I should and I pretty much eat what I want, I am never going to get better that way, I have come along ways to eating healthier though, I know a couple people right now that had diabetes 2 and dont have it any more, The one makes sure she excersizes every day with out fail for a half hour and the other one was doing yoga and lost weight and neither one of them take medicine any more, I am grateful that I am not diabetic 1 then I dont think you can ever be freed, I would never stop my medicine I know how serious that could be, I am diabetes educated
