I have Type 2 Diabetes and have had to take as much as 80 units of insulin twice daily. You do not have to be Type 1 to take insulin. Also, I lost about 60 pounds and no longer needed any diabetic medication or diet of any kind.

When my cancer reared it's ugly head, the diabetes came back and I now am taking oral meds for that, despite now having lost about 110 pounds.
