Diabetics are pretty hard to deal with, most refuse to make lifestyle changes which decrease the need for pills and insulin dose. As much as doctors insist (at least in my area) they make absolutely no effort. Ironically, they complain like crazy when you add another pill or increase the dose if (for obvious reasons) the glucose levels don't decrease. It can be very frustrating. It's also a huge difference between type 1 and type 2, type 1 are mostly well controlled and disciplined.
