Insulin, a lifeline with side effects!

Many diabetics are either partially or completely insulin dependent. Insulin has become their lifeline through a horrible disease. I, myself, have been insulin dependent since early adulthood. My pancreas production of insulin is almost as nil as a type 1 diabetic. However, I have learned that insulin is a dangerous drug with some side effects. This lens holds many links and basic information from a user of insulin to help you understand the drug. I am not a doctor and I am not offering any diagnosis but I will have many link to resources that you will find helpful.
