I am not a doctor, but my understanding of Type I is that
insulin is the only medication that will work since our bodies are not producing any
insulin. I think it is unusual for a Type I Diabetic to be taken off insulin and to be able to remain in control with diet and exercise alone. But, then again, diabetes does affect each person differently. I would encourage you to always discuss any changes in your insulin with an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetes.
