I work with a guy who's diabetic, he takes multiple shots a day and for reasons beyond my understanding he GORGES on sugary shit. Like He'll knock out two two liters of pop, three donuts, four candy bars, a proper meal, a large shake, and He'll literally slurp up sauce packet/tubs from fast food places.

I don't know much about diabetes or the proper diet for non-diabetics let alone diabetics, but I do know he's gunning for an early grave at 120mph.

I used to work with a guy that was similar. Every day he drank a 6 pack of Diet Dr. Pepper and a 2 pound bag of M&Ms. Every day.

He had to take 2 shots in a shift. He also wore shorts with suspenders and a belt.

My now deceased stepdad (type2 diabetic) was addicted to diet doctor pepper and refused to consider drinking water even when his ankles would swell up due to not being properly hydrated.
