Can type 1 Diabetes be reversed ?
Hi , I'm 19 yrs old and have type 1 Diabetes since 2 years . I take insulin shots daily 3 times/day. I have observed that my hba1c levels have improved a lot from 10 units to now 5.5 units .
So will there be a time when I can stop insulin shots ? I don't eat sugar , rice , oily food etc.
My fasting is usually 90-100 .

Type 1 Diabetes cannot be reversed.. It's Insulin dependent.. Since you are taking insulin it's under control.. Please continue taking insulin
