I googled but didn't find out anything conclusive.As a long term T1 I find it hard to believe I'm producing more than miniscule quantitities of insulin after 50 years, so I reckon I'm a bit insulin resistant because my insulin ratio is 1unit to 3g carbs rather than the 1 to 10g that new diabetics seem to start at.  But my consultant denies that I have double diabetes. Maybe because I'm still on less than 50 units a day?? (By virtue of eating 100g or less a day, though). And some T2s end up on literally 100s of units a day, which definitely makes my dose seem not desperately high.It doesn't sound like a lot but of course we don't know how much of your own insulin you are still producing. I would be interested to hear your consultant's take on it.</blockquote>
