Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin – It's Not the End
March 8th, 2010 | 
Author: Have you ever noticed that when some people discover you have a problem, they just can’t wait to tell you what’s good for you? They come out with all sorts of theories as to how you must do this, that or the other, with no regard for accuracy or indeed the personal feelings of whoever it is they are giving the benefit of their vast wisdom!
The author of this article was put on insulin some 2 years ago, and has been amazed at the general level ignorance as to what this means.
The author, and others like him who are insulin injecting type 2 diabetics, live a very near normal life. OK, we have to inject ourselves regularly but with the advances in insulin means that for many, this is only twice a day, with a special pen device which makes it easy and painless.
Also, although it’s true that a bar of chocolate is not good for you, a small amount is fine, so you don’t have to succumb completely to the food police just because you have diabetes and you’re injecting insulin.
You do however, have to pay very close attention to your blood sugars by regular checking during the day.
