We have had others on the forum who are insulin dependent who have done OK with close supervision from their diabetic team,

It would be really helpful if you added some details to your profile page - especially country, age and some history because all are relevant to any advice someone may give. With such a basic comment I'm not quite sure what you expect from the forum.
