Meter Blood
If you have type 2 diabetes do you still need a blood Glucose Meter ?
I Just want to know just incase next time I go to the doctors I get my blood results and if they tell me news I don’t wanna hear. Oh and by the way if you do have type 2 diabetes do you or don’t you need insulin ? I am thinking you don’t but i am not fully sure .
Basically, type 2 diabetes is ‘non-insulin dependant”. So you do not need insulin to treat it except in very rare severe complications.
Type 2 diabetes may sometimes be managed simply by weight drop and diet. If this fails there are various types of tablets that the doctor will choose from. A glucometer is needed to perform an occasional check on blood glucose. Good control of blood glucose at all times is essential to avoid complications caused by type 2 diabetes.
