Is it ok that I only eat chicken and not any other meat?

Senator D*L*P™ asked:

When I was a freshmen, I decide to become an ovo-lacto vegetarian, but since then I was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. My doctors say that being diabetic can also affect your protein levels (?), and since I was a vegetarian, I already was working to keep my levels up. Since chicken has a lot of protein, I eat that once in a while. I **** to eat it, but it works better than soy when I am feeling sick. I try to stay healthy with the diabetes and vegetarian diet, but is ok for me to follow a vegetarian diet, but sometimes have to eat chicken? I refuse to eat red meat. I don’t go on rampages telling people they are evil for eating meat, I just prefer not to eat it. My friends call me a chickitarian, but can I still be an ovo-lacto vegetarian?

What is the name of that shot that they give to diabetics, but is now also used to help with weight loss?

Brown_Eyed_Girl asked:

I am not talking about insulin…..It is a shot that originally was for diabetics….But then they discovered it could be used to help people lose weight as well. It is supposed to be much better for you than phentermine diet pills.
