Answer to Question 1

The treatment goal is to maintain blood glucose levels within near-normal ranges and prevent long-term complications. Weight management, regular exercise, and a healthy diet are key. There may be a need to add glucose-lowering medication to help make cells more responsive to insulin. Some people with type 2 diabetes do need additional insulin to lower blood glucose and will require insulin injections.
