It can be a pain, but it's a necessity for millions, and it's something Kerby Bennet is trying to avoid.
A few years ago, her twin sister Taylor was diagnosed with type-one diabetes.
"It was a shock to us, especially because she was 17 when she was diagnosed." Bennet said.
Because her identical twin has it, Kerby has a 65 percent chance of developing the disease too. "It's nerve wracking," she said.
Now, she's the first person to enroll in a clinical trial at Vanderbilt University testing the drug Teplizumab.
