If I start insulin treatment, does it mean that I have type 1 diabetes?

No, Insulin is a vital treatment for many living with type 2 diabetes. Starting insulin treatment does not mean that you have developed type 1 diabetes, you still have type 2 diabetes but are using insulin. Approx. 15-30% of people with type 2 diabetes use insulin, depending on the country.
