Yes! Having diabetes is adjusting to a whole new lifestyle. http://www.diabetes.org/

If you mean that "Is Insulin Injection will treat type 2 Diabetes Mellitus" As a diabetic, I can say is that a pill called Metformin aka Glucophage is effective, but Insulin may be also used. Talk to your doctor/diabetes educator for more info. Right now I take both Insulin and Metformin.

Yes, but why would you want to inject yourself if you didn't have to? ----------------------------
4 :
Yes. If you are a diabetic and not on insulin don't switch to insulin without seeing an endocrinologist first. There are important things you need to know before you use insulin. I am an insulin dependent diabetic since 1998.

yup. and riverkid - insulin is a lot more controlled than tablets, and if you have been diabetic for 16 years, surely you know that it doesn't hurt one bit!!! well it doesn't hurt me anyway!!! If i were recommending one or the other to someone, id say definitely go for the injections - it takes a while to get used to, but it keeps you so much more healthy in the long term! and like i said, it doesn't hurt at all, i promise!

Yes insulin can be used to treat type two diabetes that is uncontrolled with diet modification and oral medications like glucophage or januvia. It is the only medication used for type one because a person with type one diabetes cannot produce insulin whereas a person with type 2 is resistant to the insulin that is produced. Be sure to monitor your blood sugar as your doctor has recommened to decrease your chances of serious complications (like neuropathy, blindness, and organ damage) and take your medications as prescribed.

Type 2 diabetes starts out treated with pills bc your inslet cells are still producing insulin but not enough. Eventually your inslet cells stop producing insulin and you are treated with insulin but are still a type 2 diabetes. Type 1 or type 2, there is no difference. Diabetes is diabetes and the types are just one way for doctors to define the diabetes.

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus accounts for 10 to 15% of all cases of DM and is clinically characterized by hyperglicemia and a propensity to DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) Its control requires chronic insulin treatment. There are associated risks for retinopathy,nephropathy,neuropathy,and atherosclerotic coronary and peripheral vascular disease in most Western populations.

my father does it (im trype one hes type 2), hes said this has given him the best control of his life! he feels sooooo much better since he went on insulin (which is safer anyway because it doesnt affect your liver) and dosages can be customized to your life!
