And, except for Type 1 people, it’s very questionable just how much, if any, Insulin is even needed.

So, diet and careful control of your weight and adequate exercise SHOULD reduce much of the need to take exogenous insulin. Except in very rare cases, the human being not afflicted with the actual death of the beta cells on the pancreas (Type I diabetes), still produces some insulin, and weight loss aids greatly in the ability of the body to resume adequate insulin production.

There are so many guides to maintaining good health available out there, that there is no excuse for ignorance about how to avoid many of the afflictions that affect everybody as they age. I chalk up much of personal human woe to willful ignorance, and I estimate some 95% of said personal woe is self-induced.
