Insulin for the Long Term

Is there anyone on this forum that is a Type 2 Diabetic that has done well using insulin for a number of years? Have you had any complications?

I read so many reports about insulin being bad for Type 2’s and maybe even causing heart disease. I personally (other than gaining weight) like the way I feel on insulin (better than pills) I have so much energy, but I just don’t know if it is destroying my body.

I would like to know your experience with insulin.
