Type 2 Diabetes

Insulin & Medication

For someone with Type 2 diabetes, taking regular medication is part of their daily reality and eventually becomes ‘second nature’. Our participants discuss the process of choosing the medication that best suited them and their lifestyle. Some participants also explore how they have adjusted to self-administered insulin. 

These Speaking From Experience Type 2 diabetes video clips offer firsthand accounts from seven people living with Type 2 diabetes. They discuss the impact that Type 2 diabetes has had on their lives.
