    Why Not Insulin

    I agree with both sheepie and ickihun, to some extent. When I was first diagnosed, some years back, I had already been suffering from excessive thirst, weight gain, night sweats and other signs for some time, but the doc refused at first to actually test me as I was considered too young at the...
