I suppose it's all relative. If you have type I and are on an insulin pump like myself, type II seems to be pretty manageable. When my insulin levels are out of wack, it's not unusual for my sugars to go as high as 500 in very short order. My DH has type II and never gets higher than 179. I feel like he is the lucky one who could survive if there was a disaster like Katrina in my neck of the woods. I already know that I would not survive if separated from my insulin for as little as a day. Very sobering.
