Researches from the Cardiff University School of Medicine who examined the UK Clinical Practice research Data Link examined the increased risk of health complications when type 2 diabetic patients use insulin.

They confirmed that there is a increased risk of additional health complications. These include heart attack, eye complications, renal disease and stroke.

Additional studies have also found a significant increase in mortality rates in the groups of patients using insulin.
