People that struggle with weight already feel crappy about themselves.....they don't need more bullying. They are one of the most judged and underserved communities anywhere. The COMPANY CAN change the availability. It's Greed of the company who do NOT care for diabetics or anyone else. Also, Insulin can be made for pennies.......and the price has only been increased for greed not need....the inventor of insulin donated it for that purpose because he thought it was wrong to profit of it.

      It's not just about self control. For some people it doesn't come down to self control because their bodies work differently. For example, I have friends that sometimes they just forget to eat. My brother is the same way. In my 20 years of being alive, I've never forgotten to eat. Some people just respond differently to food. For some people, eating lots of food is like a heavenly experience, whilst for others it's hell. So it's not about self-control, but about how your body is wired
