Does type 2 diabetes always require insulin?

No, type 2 diabetes does not always require insulin. Treatment for type 2 diabetes typically includes:

• Lifestyle Changes: Healthy eating, regular physical activity, and weight management.
• Oral Medications: Such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or DPP-4 inhibitors.
• Non-Insulin Injectables: Like GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Insulin therapy may be needed if blood sugar levels are not controlled with other treatments or in advanced stages of the disease. Always consult your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
