title: Ask the doctor. I am 72 and have had diabetes for about 10 years. My doctor wants me to start taking insulin because my sugar levels are usually high get (about 300). I don't want to, though, because I am sure I will be stuck taking it forever. Isn't it true that the kind of diabetes you get when you are older is mild?
