Tell me what you think of this.. insulin pills/shots?

Sorry, insulin doesn't come in pill form. If you are a Type 1, you most likely don't produce ANY insulin so you NEED to inject it. If you are a Type 2, however, you can control diabetes with diet, exercise, and oral medications that help control glucose. These oral medications are not insulin but rather help your body utilize the insulin it already produces and/or changes the way your body breaks down food. If you really are a Type 1 and not a Type 2, you WILL need insulin injections. If your pancreas hasn't stopped making insulin, you're probably not really a Type 1 but rather a Type 2.
