does type 2 diabetics take insulin

Yes, some people with Type 2 Diabetes may need to take insulin, but it depends on individual circumstances. Here’s a breakdown:

• Lifestyle and Oral Medications: Many people with Type 2 Diabetes can manage their condition through lifestyle changes (diet, exercise) and oral medications.
• Insulin Therapy: Over time, some individuals may require insulin if their pancreas produces insufficient insulin or if other treatments are no longer effective.
• Temporary Use: Insulin may also be used temporarily during illness, surgery, or pregnancy.

Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.
