has been no oral medication for
diabetes, the medication may not
work as well in controlling blood
sugar.
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.

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.

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
