The first question is, what's causing your diabetes? Are you significantly over weight or is it a bad pancreas? If it's the weight, you can fix it without insulin.
If you can control this with diet and exercise, it's a much better regimen than using the insulin. If you must combine diet, exercise, and insulin, you'll be much better off than just trying to do it with inuslin only. Insulin can cause weight gain, and the only way to offset that is through diet and exercise.
