Type I means that your body doesn't produce any insulin (although Jerry should still be in the "honeymoon" period, where he does). Type II means that you don't produce enough.
Typically, type II can be controlled through diet, excercize, and oral medications. Type I requires insulin doses. That said, type II can be severe enough to require insulin doses. Also, different people react differently to different medications. So it's hard to judge more or less difficult to control. As for cravings and "forbidden" foods, you are absolutely right. However, there aren't any foods we can't have -- just foods we can't have much of, and we shouldn't indulge in often. My monthly Krispy Kreme, for example. :-) --Ben Dana wrote: > My sympathy.
