I'll refrain from using the words that come to mind.
Using insulin means that you are subject to passing out, sometimes with little or no notice.
That has happened to me once, which I attribute to injecting my longacting into a vein by accident.
I was lucky and was not in a situation where I had responsibility for other people's lives at the time.
It would be totally irresponsible of me to take any situation where I routinely was responsible for people's safety by being alert second by second.
I don't like it, but that's the way it is.
Your have responsibilities whether you like them or not. Children may evade them to a certain extent, but for adults to do so is criminal.
