A member asked:
Im a type 2 diabetic and the doctor has indicated that my sugar levels are quiet high and i may have to be put on insulin, will this make me a type 1 diabetic if that is the case?

Type of diabetes: Some with type 2 diabetes require insulin. This does not convert you to type 1.

Insulin: Is commonly used in treatment of type 2 diabetes as most patients end up needing it eventually and that does not make them type 1 diabetes.
