Do you think everyone start prediabetic pre type2 insulin resistant? Or is prediabetic before beta cells are under pressure pre type1 too?
I'm going to read up on it. Although you guys know better. Living with it!
I wonder if I was prediabetic in the womb?
One theory is the bathtub one.
Either your liver is dumping too much glucose in your blood stream or your tissues are insulin resistant and not taking up enough glucose.
Like a bath tub; either the tap is running too fast or the plug hole is all clagged up with hair and stuff.
Either way the bath overflows but unless you know which end is not working properly you don't know the cause of the problem. Of course both ends could be working wrong.
So probably not everyone starts out insulin resistant, but I think that the vast majority do.
This also rolls into the perennial question of are you T2 because you are fat, or is the excess fat storage a symptom of the fat cells being overloaded by too much insulin which in turn is caused by developing insulin resistance and/or glucose over production?
If T2 was just insulin resistance due to fat overloading the muscle tissues then it would be a lot more curable by diet and exercise, and us relatively skinny T2s wouldn't be T2s at all.
Which in turn raises the question about failing insulin production; does this mean that you are really a slow onset T1 or is T1 the immune system eating the pancreas and T2 the cells just getting tired and emotional?
There is sadly no single answer.
