For everyone with type 1 diabetes, and some people with type 2 diabetes, insulin is an important part of managing their condition. Insulin use requires education, support and skills for safe and effective management. Reasonable adjustments to care are required to ensure that people with learning disabilities are appropriately supported to manage their diabetes with insulin, and have the opportunity to be as autonomous as possible.
