| People with Type 2 Diabetes Need Changes in Treatment
over Time |
|
| Things change. It's part of life. When you first learned you had
type 2 diabetes, you may have changed how much you ate or started
taking walks to keep your blood sugar in your target range. As time
goes on, you may need diabetes pills or insulin shots too. That
doesn't mean your diabetes is getting worse. It just means that
the old plan isn't working now. Changing your treatment plan can
help you reach your blood sugar goals. |

| Some people blame themselves when they find out
they need a change in their diabetes care plan. They wonder
if they did something wrong -- or didn't do enough. When you
first got type 2 diabetes, your body still made some insulin
but didn't use it well. This is called insulin resistance
(ree-ZIS-tance). Over time, your body may make less insulin.
Or your body may become less able to use insulin. You might
need a new care plan. It's like taking a different road to
get to the same place. Talk with your health care team about
how new treatments can help. |
