My son has been a Type I Diabetic since he was 17 years old. He is now pushing 40. He exercises and eats right and still needs insulin. Hopefully the price of insulin will come down eventually.
Wouldn’t it come down if the Type 2 people followed dietary and fitness protocols to get off of insulin?

I can (and have) bought insulin over-the-counter at Walmart for less than the COPAY that my Part D plan’s online pharmacy charges.
I’d to point out to the dietary Karens that my diabetes appeared in my middle 50s despite the fact that I have always hated sugary soft drinks, never ate much candy, cakes or cookies. Meat-and-potatoes guy then and now, at 77 years old.
And BTW, once you are Type 1, you never recover. Claiming to have done so is BS. Nor do Type 2s. Type 2 is a progressive condition which only gets worse as you age.
I’m not convinced that it’s not hereditary. My paternal grandfather (who was rail-thin all his life), two or maybe three of my uncles (both sides of the family), and my brother all became Type 2s later in life.
I hope so too.
