[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1638020, member: 21149"] Hi. My understanding is that in T2s with insulin resistance there will normally be excess insulin produced but muscle cells can't use it due to them being 'fatty'. The end result looks the same as lack of insulin but the c-peptide test will show-up excess or lack of insulin and hence T2 versus T1. I'm also told that in long-term T2, the pancreas may give up producing insulin due to this resistance and hence then looks nearer to T1 but thru a different process. I've never seen any research studies for this area. [/QUOTE]
