TWO key words, diagnosed and usually.
That means when the doctor FIRST discovers it and MAY start with two injections, one injection OR none at all.
You phrased it as if it was standard that diabetics increase their dosage. I'm merely pointing out that's not the case. At the beginning everything is touch and go so there will be adjustments up and down until the doctor sees what is working and what is not. This is not to mention the patient who monitors their sugar at home with a meter. If they do start you with two shots but you are having trouble keeping the sugar up, or are constantly eating to keep the sugar up, the doctor decreases the dosage or amount of shots.
