You take it every time you eat. Diabetics are supposed to eat six times a day, so that is six times. But, that doesn't mean that you are only allowed to eat that many times, because you can eat as much as you want as long as you provide your body with the correct amount of insulin. If you are on one of the pumps, then you do not have to take shots.

Can a person with type 2 diabetes take insulin?
A person with type II diabetes doesn't need to take insulin. They can control their blood glucose level via diet and the odd medicine in pill form. T=If they took insulin they could cause themselves damage.
How sick is a person if they wear an insulin pump?
If someone wears an insulin pump then they are a type one diabetic and that that is how they choose to take their insulin (instead of shots, they'd rather just "bolus" by telling the pump to deliver them insulin via infusion set). It does not mean that they are any more or less sick than anyone else with type 1 diabetes. Most people with type 1 diabetes live a normal life, despite the constant blood sugar testing and giving themselves insulin. It is a manageable disease that is made somewhat easier to keep in check by the wonderful invention of the insulin pump. Again, just because someone wears one doesn't mean that they are dying or that they are any sicker than someone else with the disease. It's just their choice of insulin delivery. :)

Can diabetes be cured with a organ transplant?
Yes it can. There are two types of diabetes, insulin dependant and non insulin dependant. Diabetes ends up affecting the kidney and eventually a kidney transplant will be required. Because diabetes is caused by the insulin production, in the insulin dependant diabetes, often a pancreas and kidney transplant will take place. The pancreas is where the insulin is produced. By replacing the pancreas, insulin production becomes normal and diabetes is cured.

Is type 2 diabetes known as insulin-dependent diabetes?

No. Diabetes is not cured by using insulin injections.

Oral medications for diabetes?
People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin. With type 1 diabetes the pancreas no longer produces sufficient insulin. In order to control blood glucose levels, type 1 diabetics need to use insulin injections. Insulin cannot be taken orally, it is only available as an injection.
Does type 1 diabetes use a hormone called insulin?
No, people who have type 1 diabetes (like me myself) do not produce insulin. Yet their may still produce insulin but too little to be enough to not take it. As you get more experienced with diabetes your doctor may tell you that your body still produces insulin but not enough to take it alone with no help( this is the HONEYMOON Stage). You have to take it by syringe, shot, or by a pump. People who have type 2 diabetes, their pancreas still produce insulin but maybe their bodies do not absorb it too well.
