Goodness Ruby, you have many years before you have to be concerned about using Insulin. You will do Fine. Some disciplined Type 2's go a Good 20 years before they go on Insulin. Actually, Insulin is not a Bad thing as many People think. It does have to be used carefully though. There are some Drs. who put their Type 2 Patients immediately on minimal Insulin to get their sugars in control. They find that this is Very helpful to aid in not stressing out the panceas.
Diabetics are prone to becoming Insulin Resistant. Although difficult sometimes, make it your goal to eat less and exercise more in order to keep your weight down naturally. This will help you to not become Insulin Resistant. You don't want to go there.
I have read your answers to other Members questions and most are correct and valuable. Thank you for helping others and me. By your display of knowledge, I can and do declare you to be a Fast Learner.
Good for you.
