That’s because insulin therapy comes with a lot of negatives, including risk of death from hypoglycemia. There’s long been a debate over whether it was better in the long run to risk more bouts of hypoglycemia and achieve tighter blood glucose control, or to run high in one’s blood glucose levels and lower the hypoglycemia risk.
