I became interested in this today when I discovered that Waylon Jennings,
my favorite country artist, died of diabetes complications. I didn't even
know he was a diabetic.

That is sad.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
My father was type 1.
By the time I was old enough to pay attention he had scars on his arms and
the tops of his thighs from the many injections with large needles that were
used at the time to prevent clogging.
He carried a kitchen matchbox, lined with cotton with a tiny bottle of
alcohol saturated cotton balls, his insulin, a 'sample' Ball canning jar
filled with sugar and a syringe.
Insulin was so variable in strength that he never knew the reaction he would
have from the same dose.
His BG test was done in a test tube with a tablet dropped into the urine.
I watched the color turn into a deep orange many times.
My mother would give him a "look" that I learned meant that she knew he had
'sneeked' a Peanut Patty candy.
My parents had 3 children.
After my father's funeral we 3 were discussing our childhood and while we
all agreed that my brother was mother's 'favorite' we each thought we were
daddy's favorite.

How about the guy nicknamed "rerun" from the sitcom "What's Happening"?
Didn't he die from complications from diabetes?
