Insulins which humans inject are modified versions of cow insulin. Cows probably don’t eat a lot of fat or carbs, right? They eat grass? I feel like someone should check what happens when you feed a cow the diet which puts humans who are taking insulin injections in the ‘the swamp’ state.
Presumably a Type I diabetic wouldn’t experience “the swamp”? . . . I don’t actually know, but I presume not?
Cows are actually the only commonly-eaten food animal which is relatively unaffected by a diet heavy in polyunsaturated fatty acids [ which cows in CAFOs, though not true lifelong “grass-fed beef” are indeed fed ]. Being ruminants, they fully break down any dietary fats before storing them in their bodies. Or at least this is the standard line peddled by the beef industry.
I Googled “do cows get diabetes”, and apparently it’s not really a thing except during long periods of lactation for dairy cows?

Grass is mostly (water and) carbs, just not carbs a person can digest and burn with any efficiency.
