A member asked:
Are insulin doses needed for type 2 diabetes smaller doses than those needed for type 1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Often type ii patients who require Insulin will need larger doses than in type i diabetes. This is because of a tendency to Insulin resistance and obesity in type ii patients more so than in type i patients. Everyone is different, however, so that predicting for a particular patient is only a guess.
