9. Insulin Is Forever

Once you start insulin injections, it may seem like your life is changing permanently. Your diabetes management is becoming more complex, and there are new dangers to consider, which can make the road ahead look daunting and discouraging. However, your body’s insulin needs can change, especially in the face of significant lifestyle changes, like major weight loss or after pregnancy. In these cases, your body may begin to respond better to insulin, and you might not need any insulin injections again.

Of course, it’s difficult to predict whether or not you’ll be on insulin forever, but a lot will depend on how much your diabetes has progressed – more advanced cases tend to be less reversible, so the better you can control your condition now, the less treatment you may need in the future.
