Greg, I don't take insulin.

Insulin resistance is a condition where the body's tissues and cells become resistant or nonreceptive to the insulin that the pancreas sends out to metabolize sugars. In response to the resistance, the pancreas just works harder and produces more insulin, so a way to diagnose insulin resistance is finding too much insulin in the blood. The glucose tolerance test involves drinking 7.5 grams of glucose and then getting blood insulin levels at 30, 60, and 120 minutes.

Apparently, it is common for the pancreas to finally poop out after putting out so much insulin, and eventually not have enough insulin to put out, which is what causes diabetes, type II.

You are right, sitting down is kind of a luxury, except for the case of public bathrooms and in this situation.
