Diabetes treatment isn't just insulin.

Many people take medications such as metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists to help manage blood glucose levels and reduce complications. Understanding treatment helps improve care.

💙 A reminder for anyone managing diabetes:

A high blood sugar reading is feedback, not failure.

Some days are harder than others.

Keep going.

Progress matters more than perfection.

Insulin is essential for people with T1 diabetes and some people with T2 diabetes.

Missed or delayed insulin can lead to serious illness. In forensic settings, ensuring timely access to insulin is a critical patient safety issue.

🩸 Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body can no longer produce insulin.

It is not caused by lifestyle choices and requires lifelong insulin treatment. Understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes helps us #StrikeOutStigma.
