Thank you for reading my blog.
Your question is well taken. I would suggest you to ask those people who are insulin dependent. Ask for their life styles. You may never realize that pocking your skin 3-4 times a day with a needle, checking blood sugar level changes, and doing injections every day, multiple times, for the rest of their lives (decades).
Not to mention the complications: blindness, heart attack, stoke, kidney failure requiring dialysis.
