That's because it's Type 2 Diabetes that is most prevalent in Cambodia, this requires changes in eating habits. White steamed rice is not advised but try telling any local they can't eat their staple diet. Type 1 is the one that requires insulin injections.

Check a Google search "Do people with type 2 diabetes require insulin injections?"

It may be that there is some variation in the way doctors are taught, about the recommended treatment for a person with Type 2 diabetes. Cambodian doctors may be influenced by French tradition?

Totally agree about white rice, but now there's also the problem with these "energy" drinks like red bull.

I don't know, I know quite a few Cambodian diabetics though and they don't take insulin.
