Yes, individuals with Type 2 Diabetes can take insulin. Here’s what you need to know:

  • When Insulin is Needed: Insulin may be prescribed when oral medications or lifestyle changes are not sufficient to control blood sugar levels.
  • Types of Insulin: There are different types of insulin, including rapid-acting, long-acting, and intermediate-acting, depending on your needs.
  • Administration: Insulin is typically injected using a syringe, insulin pen, or insulin pump.

It’s important to work closely with your healthcare provider to determine the right insulin regimen for you and to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.
