I am an insulin dependent diabetic. Pre-surgery I was taking 4 shots a day. 3 short-acting with meals, and 1 long-acting at bedtime. Since week two post-op, I have had NO short-acting insulin, and reduced my one shot at night by 75%. I expect soon to be off insulin completely.

I have been a type II diabetic for about 15 years. The last ten years I have been dependent on 4 shots of insulin per day.
At week 12, I was taken off all insulin and put on a pill.
Now that is progress!
Clarification: You can be type II AND insulin dependent.
