T2D doesn't arise from a moment of bad luck or inattention. T2D arises from a long stream of sub-optimal choices and ignored warning signs. I am not here to argue for or against socialized medicine. I am here to tell people that they should fix the actual problem instead of opting for the quick fix. I encountered this problem a couple years ago. If I trusted those damn doctors, I'd be stuck, sticking myself several times a day, and keeping an eye on my insulin supply, but I didn't, so I'm not.
