Yes, there are. Some diabetics are not "insulin dependent", meaning they do not require injections in order to live. These people may have low insulin production or problems with glucose absorption, but they can usually control the disease by eating the right foods, getting adequate exercise, etc -- these people are called "Type II Diabetics". There are also insulin dependent diabetics, or those suffering from Type I Diabetes. People with Type I must have insulin shots in order to live.
