    You can do it...it will take time and the hardest is the first two weeks. I am also diabetic who take pills and used to take insulin. I started to lose weight and was able to get off the insulin.

    I'm a type 2 diabetic also. Just starting to exercise and hoping to lose weight and avoid going on insulin. Good luck! Take it one day at a time.
