1, 2, or 4 shots a day? 💉🤔

Today, we’re looking at how often you really need to inject insulin. It actually depends on your diagnosis:
Type 1 Diabetes: Since the body has no insulin, daily injections are required—often up to 4 times a day (baseline + before meals).
Type 2 Diabetes: Many only need it once a day, but if the condition is more severe, it could be more.
The Good News: Many effective oral tablets are available now! Doc Ivan usually saves insulin for very high sugar levels that pills can’t control or if there is kidney damage.

“Doc, can type 2 diabetes really be reversed?”

This is one of the most common questions patients ask — and also one of the most misunderstood.

In this video, I explain the truth based on Diabetes and Endocrine Guidelines

We discuss:
✔️ The difference between diabetes remission and cure
✔️ When type 2 diabetes can go into remission
✔️ The role of weight loss and lifestyle changes
✔️ Who has the highest chance of remission
✔️ Why diabetes can come back — and how to prevent it

The good news is that type 2 diabetes can improve significantly, and in some cases, remission is possible with proper treatment and medical guidance.
This video will help you understand your condition and what you can realistically achieve.
