A member asked:
Do i still use insulin and check my glucose level with type 2 diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Type 2 diabetes is typically treated with a combination of diet, weight loss, exercise, and medications that decrease Insulin resistance and/or increase Insulin production by the pancreas. Taking Insulin will also lower sugars no matter what type of diabetes you have. Monitoring sugars is essential for anyone with diabetes to know if they are doing the right things for glucose control.
