[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2306211, member: 219467"] I think this is where diagnostic terms have got it wrong personally. There are insulin over producers and under producers. A c-peptide test should show which you are. Over producers are "classic" T2 but over time it may be possible that their pancreas can no longer cope with making huge amounts of insulin and starts to fail. Hopefully all the over producers will be caught before that time. Anyone under-producing is a form of "T1" for whatever reason they aren't producing enough. They can have long honeymoons or none at all but at the end of the day they are likely to require exogenous insulin to a greater or lesser extent. That's why quite a few experts talk about "hyperinsulinemia" as opposed to "insulin resistance" as T2. [/QUOTE]
