I don't have diabetes but I know that when it comes to diet, it's very hard for people to change what they eat. Insulin seems to be the easier solution.

Changing to a strict low-carb diet might be the best solution but an injection a day is probably easier.

We see it constantly. Obesity can be fixed by diet and addiction is fixed by abstaining. But people aren't always able to change. Sometimes what's possible is better than what should be done. In this case, injecting insulin is better, in general, than a change in diet since most people are just not able or willing to change their diets. I've known people that have diabetes and I know for a fact that the first suggestion by the doctor was to change their diet. But ultimately insulin was used since their blood sugar level didn't change.
