I’m a Type 2 diabetic who’s been able to control his diabetes with diet, exercise, and a one-a-day pill.  There were many factors that pushed me to lose weight and get my blood sugar under control, but a huge deciding factor was the fact that I hate needles and wasn’t looking forwarding to pricking my finger each day or giving myself shots.  I don’t have to worry about right now, but it’s good to know that I may not have to worry about the needles anymore.  That is, as long as I don’t develop any issues with my lungs, then it’s needles once again!
