How Can Insulin Injections Be Eliminated In Diabetes?

My name is Katrina. I found out I was a diabetic in 2013. I want to get another opinion on my medical background . The thing with that every doctor I talk to say that I will have to be referred to them. My doctor don t see a reason for that. I am taking two different types of insulin and four shots a day. I would like to learn more about what type of diabetes I have and what I could do to eliminate the insulin.

Dear madam i can understand your concern.
In type 1 diabetes there will be absolute insulin deficiency and you need to take insulin 3-4 times a day depending on type of insulin.
In type 2 diabetes usually patients will start with tablets and shift to insulin after 20-25 yrs
to make a clear diagnosis of condition i would like to know some information from you that is
1.your age
2.family history of diabetes
3,how much insulin you are taking now.
4.what is your height and weight.
i am ready for further discussion.
