    Fantastic!! I'm working to get off of insulin and rid of the insulin pump. Especially the expense of all the supplies. You should be very proud of your accomplishment. Happy New Year!

    Congrats!! This is my goal :)

    I have a few questions if you don't mind? How did the doctor arrive at the decision to take you off? Were you showing any signs physically that you should come off? Was it in the blood work? etc...the reason I ask is that I'm trying to figure out how I'll know when I might be ready to do this. (I hope that question made sense)
