If you are a type 1 you will be on injections the rest of your life or until there's a cure. If you're type 2 it is possible for you to stop taking insulin and/or medications if 1) your pancreas has not been exhausted to the point it doesn't make insulin anymore and 2) you're able to make lifestyle changes that improve you insulin resistance, the cause of type 2 diabetes. If you're taking insullin and your glucose is normal, it's normal because you're taking insulin. If you're experiencing a lot of lows you should call your doctor and adjust your insulin dosage. There are a lot of type 2 diabetics who lose weight, exercise and make dietary changes that allow them to either reduce medications or even completely stop taking insulin and/or medication completely.

RE:
can insulin injections be stopped if the blood sugar levels are normal? are there withdrawal symptoms?

With Type 1, no, insulin injections can never be stopped. The pancreas does not make its own insulin in Type 1, and without regular insulin injections, Type 1s DIE.
With Type 2, if you start using insulin because of insulin resistance and other factors, if you make the proper lifestyle changes (lose weight, exercise more, eat properly), then with your Doctor's supervision (I cannot stress that strongly enough) insulin MIGHT be stopped.
But under no circumstances should any diabetic (or any person on life maintaining medications, for that matter) make any changes to their medical treatment plan without consulting seriously with their doctor. To do otherwise is to risk your health and possibly your life.

If your blood sugar is normal while you're on insulin, it's probably the medication that's keeping it there. Stopping the insulin doesn't cause withdrawal symptoms, but your sugars will probably shoot up when insulin is stopped. I agree with the others in saying that it's probably not a good idea to stop your medication without first consulting your physician.

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 23 years, and I have never heard of anyone not taking their insulin, you should never stop taking your injections unless advised to do so by your endocronologist, if you are interested in other alternative besides daily injections ask your endocronologist about an insulin pump.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I'm sorry, but no. If you are taking insulin by injection, I'm assuming that you are a type 1. Type one diabetes is not curable. . . yet. Whatever you do, don't stop taking your insulin, especially without consulting your doctor first.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

no because you still need constant insulin in your body. Plus are you like not going to eat or what?
