[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 686473, member: 59930"] At the end of the day there is no point criticising someone for being blunt. Of course there are side effects of any medication but the fact of the matter is, as LADA or type 1, it's either take the insulin and risk any side effects or die. Not much of a choice when u think of it like that is there? Many diabetics go onto insulin and think "now I'm injecting I can eat anything I want and just inject to cover it - pass me the cake!!" And unfortunately that is where it gets problematic because injecting can never exactly mimic what a non-diabetic persons body would do so you're just asking for trouble. The way I've started to see it is, food is for energy so if I don't need it why eat it... Still hasn't stopped me putting on half a stone since I started insulin though despite not changing my diet! Not happy about this obviously!! [/QUOTE]
