    It all depends on well you are managing your sugar levels, you won't get type 1 but if your sugars are completely out of control they will put you on insulin injections your sugar levels have to be between 4-7

    Hi. try to check what you eat and check labels on foods to make sure that you only eat things with a maximum of 5% sugar per serving. If you like cakes try baking them yourself and use Canderel instead of sugar. I have just been told after 10 years of type 2 that I am to start using an injection instead of Gliclazide in November. That news I did not want to hear but my blood was showing from 6.5 - 8.5 in the mornings so hopefully this will help keep it stable.

    Good Luck
