If your Dr. truely said you would never be normal he should have his license taken away. This is absolutly absurd. You are as normal as the next person you just have to administer your insulin as needed. Your body does not do it for you. As for eating on a time schedule and the same portion size he is from the 70s and has not changed his approach. You can eat a normal diet and you can eat sugared sweets. Just in moderation and you have to calculate them and adjust your insulin for this. Just don't overdue it. I will usually just sample a few of the desserts. This type of Dr. should not be allowed to administer advice like this. Be careful and test often. Your friends will understand and if they don't who cares they must not be good friends then.
