I only had a short period of injecting insulin and can empathize. I also had to do some of that Type-1 circus to cats and dogs in a clinical rotation.
If you ever get Type 2 diabetes, go on a fast for maybe two or three weeks once your insulin requirements have stabilized somewhat... I'd like to say ask a doctor, but they mostly think fasting is bad for you, just without any evidence to that effect. Of course, BGL testing is mandatory, and insulin dosages have to be adapted (reduced) quickly. But I got over insulin dependence twice using that method and I blame the second crisis on my failure to follow through.
