Treating the diabetic mentally ill can be formidable. The regimen of blood testing, dieting and exercise that controls Type 2 diabetes is often beyond the attentions of the mentally ill.
Stretching the truth a bit here, Type 2 does not need everyday blood testing (unlike Type 1) &
medication alone is quite sucessful in controling type 2. Type 2 does not require injections of insulin; unless Type 2 goes untreated for a long time.
