You need to manage a chronic condition, either you need a spouse or a child who has a chronic condition or you need one yourself.

Science can help, alloxan destroys the islets of Langerhans, it is used to create diabetic mice. Go ahead, take a dose, lead by example. The Walmart insulin comes up here on this website from time to time, and the overall conclusion is that long-acting insulins prevent blood sugar excursions.

I am. I expect to be dead before the decade is out, the doctors offer ways to make that more comfortable but shorter. I disagree with their priorities and am thus on my own for other treatment options.

"I do not need to know about other options" seems inexcusable to me, and seems to be what the author assumes is the correct attitude towards their treatment.
