If you are now 28 years old & have been using insulin for 15 years, you started insulin at 13 years of age. Right? if so, do you have type 1 diabetes? if yes, insulin is the only option for you. Unfortunately, there are no tablets to treat type 1 diabetes. You have to continue insulin, life long.

It seems to be type 1 diabetes
It is very difficult or say just impossible to leave insulin, pl don't try it.

If you are Type 1 diabetic insulin is only option.If you can afford you can go for insulin pump which injects insulin automatically.
