Yes, you do have to take injections for Type 1 Diabetics. I am a Type 1 Diabetic. I am only 12. I used to take injections, but now I have the insulin Pump. I only have to take a shot every 2 days. When, I was on the injections, I had to take a shot 4 or more times a day! That was a lot. I hope you learned something form my answer. Thanks!

What Is Diabetes Type 1 and 2?
Well, diabetes happens when your pancreas stops working. When you have Type 1 Diabetes (like me), your pancreas makes no insulin at all. Most people take shots or use an insulin pump. Type 1 Diabetes can not go away. This type usually happens in children. Type 2 Diabetes usually happens in adults. Sometimes Type 2 Diabetes can go away. Most people who have Type 2 can lose weight to end their Diabetes. Most people with this usually take pills instead of shots. :) Hope this helps... :P
