Hello Kris and welcome! You will find that this forum is great.
You have a goal (getting off of insulin) which is great. By having a goal, you're taking good care of yourself and that is what matters. Be proud of yourself!
I came this close to be put on meds again. Losing weight, getting enough exercice were key factors in me regaining control of my sugars. I'm still just diet controlled. I was 'officially' diagnosed T2 in 94. But even if I do have to be put on meds at some point (the disease will never stop progressing) I will always take good care of myself. It's a must. On insulin, pills, or diet controlled, if a person takes good care it will determine how many years you will have and, more importantly, how much quality there will be to those years. In my mind, quality if what matters.
Good luck!
Marie
