Insulin or diet controlled?

insulin
lots and lots of lovely lovely insulin

(it's not "bad" ... I can do pretty much anything ... I'm just slightly more conscious of my mortality and the fact that if I don't get hit by a bus then I'll go blind and have my legs chopped off at some point)

(oh ... and I have to stick needles in myself fifty times a week)

People really should think twice before trying insulin; once you're hooked you're on it for life.
