The medical profession wrongly believe insulin replacement is the answer. It's not low insulin it's that the body doesn't use insulin right. So you could shovel in all the insulin you like it won't go where it's needed - Fde

Yes weight loss and diet are important. But insulin is truly a wonder drug. My wife wouldn't have made it through her teenage years without it. She found out she had diabetes when she went into a coma, with a blood sugar of 1200. She's always been thin and watched her diet.

Insulin is not a drug...

JLS, your wife's condition is a perfect example of why the general public should seriously re-examine the claim that diabetes has become an epidemic. If you CAN manage your blood sugar with diet and exercise... then you don't NEED insulin/medication. If all you have to do is diet and exercise, then your NOT diabetic.
Not quite true....once a diabetic, always a diabetic....you've got it forever...you may have it under control but it is still working on destroying organs in your body...in my case, neuropathy in my feet...I have had no problem with my blood sugar level but I feel the progression in my feet.
and of course people with typ1 (no insulin made by pancreas) can't live without it
one person's medication is another person's drug...IMO drug and if you need insulin to live..don't care what you call it
