Whether you need insulin for Type 2 diabetes depends on several factors, including:
- Blood Sugar Control: If lifestyle changes and oral medications are not sufficient to manage your blood sugar levels, insulin may be required.
- Disease Progression: Over time, the pancreas may produce less insulin, making insulin therapy necessary.
- Specific Health Conditions: Certain conditions, such as severe infections or surgeries, may temporarily require insulin.
Your healthcare provider will determine if insulin is necessary based on your individual health status and treatment goals.
