P.S.
Just a thought in response to comments here and elsewhere:
I absolutely believe that Halle and many others may have been misdiagnosed or not as specifically diagnosed as they should have been. And the long-time public wavering of Ms. Berry on what kind of diabetes she has probably reflects a certain amount of confusion on her part and on the part of her medical providers.
But my point is that soundbite statements like the one she made on Bravo (not A&E, I stand corrected) just add to the confusion! If you actually have Type I diabetes then you can't wean yourself off insulin. If you can wean yourself off insulin, you never had Type I. That's what I believe.
I've already heard from one well meaning but clueless Bravo-watching acquaintence that it's possible to wean myself off insulin. I'm thinking of making a tee-shirt that says, "I don't have Halle's Kind of Diabetes".

I'd buy me one of those shirts!
Heh. Love the t-shirt idea.
Hi Kassie,
I tagged you over at my blog. Check it out when you get a minute! Hope things are going well!
I find myself with a lot of resentment as well for the 95% of diabetics who are getting all the research dollars and have diluded the world into thinking sweet potatoes and cinnamon will cure me
