[QUOTE="MattInUSA, post: 2617336, member: 573989"] Lifestyle factors I suppose. If you're a type 2 and highly insulin resistant or have excessive pancreatic fat, there's things you can try (lose weight, exercise, reduce inflammation). If you're a type 1, doing all of those things is still not a bad idea, but excellent insulin sensitivity means nothing if you have no insulin. Of course for some people the label isn't terribly important, they'll manage however they have to regardless, but I imagine it's maddening to get a Type 2 diagnosis and the typical advice when you may already be doing those things and the real diagnosis should be a Type 1 or 1.5 with entirely different treatment (namely exogenous insulin and possibly nothing else if you're already insulin sensitive).
