T h is is n o t th e p a tie n t’s fault, b u t is a norm al progres sion o f diabetes as it changes over time in people w ith type 2 diabetes. Insulin is actually used more am ong people with type 2 dia betes because type 2 diabetes cases outnum ber type 1 diabe tes cases (approximately 90 per cent to 95 percent o f all diabe tes cases are type 2). This means that out o f ev ery 100 people w ith diabetes, five to 10 people have type 1 diabetes and 90-95 people have type 2 diabetes. B y E lsie H oward Diabetes Nurse Educator Warm Springs Diabetes Program Myth: All people living with diabetes have to take insulin in jection. Fact: Insulin lowers blood sugar and keeps it in the nor mal blood sugar level in the body. Only people with type 1 dia betes m ust inject insulin to stay alive. T his is because their pan creas cannot m ake any insulin at all. People with type 2 diabetes still make insulin and can often control their blood sugar with diet and exercise, or with diet, exercise and pills. H ow ever, sometimes people w ith type 2 diabetes do need to take insulin to control their blood sugar lev els. I f you have any questions, please call m e at 553-2478. Myth: O n ly p e o p le w ith type 1 diabetes have to take insulin. Fact: People with type 2 dia betes also may need to take in sulin.
