Type 1
Am Type 1 and starting to find my control of insulin very poor after over 40 years of really good control and was wondering if one can build up a resistance to manufactured insulin after so many years
All my searching on the net just keeps bringing up resistance to insulin as the onset of diabetes????

Hi,

I think you may find that a lot of the references to insulin resistance at the outset of diabetes are referring to type 2 diabetics, where the insulin resistance usually predates (sometimes by decades) any weight gain or diabetic symptoms.

Sometimes it is VERY frustrating that people don't properly distinguish which type of diabetes they are talking about! :)

Hope that helps!
