Does A Diagnosis Of Type 2 Diabetes Mean I Will Have To Go On Insulin? |
|
Answer» No. People with type 2 diabetes may or may not ever need to take insulin injections, depending on several FACTORS, including the timing of diagnosis. RESEARCH indicates that if type 2 diabetes is treated early and blood sugar is controlled initially and over the years, the pancreas is more likely to produce enough insulin longer. But a person who lives with type 2 upward of 15 years is UNLIKELY to CONTINUE to make sufficient insulin and will need to take it VIA syringe, pen, or pump.
