Lightbulb Insulin is given two ways...

a long acting maintenance dose like Lantus.

And some people need a bolus with meals. These people have to count carbs,
so they can inject the correct amount.

Some people need both, and others don't.

Some people are very brittle and hard to control. I used to work with a nurse and supervisor who were younger than me, with type II who had to use the insulin pump.

There are many variations to controlling Type II. Many type II people can be controlled well, with diet and exercise, if they are good at compliance.
