Free Living with Diabetes: Starting Insulin

 

“You have diabetes. Like most people with Type 2 diabetes, you have tried to control your blood sugar by taking tablets, eating right, doing exercise, and not smoking. But Type 2 diabetes is a disease where your body makes less and less insulin. After some time, taking tablets is not enough to control your blood sugar. You must take insulin. Starting on insulin is not a failure. It is not your fault. It is just how this disease works.

Insulin is saving the lives of millions of people around the world. By including insulin in their diabetes treatment routine, people are adding years to their lives. They are also adding quality to their years because they live and feel better.”

We developed the “Living with Diabetes: Starting Insulin” manual to empower people living with diabetes as they transition from tablets to insulin, their family and friends, and the health care team. In this manual, you will learn about taking control of your diabetes using insulin.
