Right. And the insulin injections allow them to continue their lifestyle of eating too much and exercising too little. Their body is literally rejecting food and that's the problem insulin solves. It does not solve the root issue.

If you spend a lot of time around diabetics you'll met many people who have lost appendages and continue to live an morbidly unhealthy lifestyle.

The insulin injections also allow diabetics to regulate their blood sugar so that they don't have to deal with even bigger problems.

I have spent a lot of time around 4 diabetics in my family, none of which had morbidly unhealthy lifestyles. Sure, they could all use a little more exercise and moderation in their diet, but then again most people can.
