If it is as bad as you say it is it sounds like your are sort of at the last effort stage... last ditch effort would really be a bone marrow replacement which would cure you but has a high morbidity and mortality. You should be open to trying a corticosteroid to reduce your immune response. It is possible that if you can calm down the response that you could cycle on prednisone during flares. Infections will typically spike anyone's glucose, but if you get infected but your body isn't killing off insulin you'll be able to treat it. Not a doctor, but I think this is a path you should openly consider. It will likely make you gain weight and such but its a trade off.

Yeah ok so a corticosteroid should help with this :-)

How long after you inject do you get the redness and swelling? Immediately? A few days later?
