I have T1 diabetes. Your post would create the impression that it's possible to do without insulin just by changing diet. The reality is that going without insulin is lethal in just a few days, and dietary changes can only reduce usage by a little.

I didn't mean to imply my relative went insulin free. He definitely did not. Based on the replies, I realize I probably shouldn't have posted what I did. I was trying to be helpful, but I'm no expert in this, so I should have stayed out of it.
