[Abstract]
The clinical stereotype that divides diabetic patients into those who are thin and need insulin and those who are obese and do not need insulin can be misleading. Some patients with type 2 diabetes present with ketoacidosis and require insulin treatment. Many of them can be weaned from insulin, although they may require hypoglycemic therapy.
