[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1431431, member: 32394"] Type 2 does not turn into or become type 1 diabetes. They are separate conditions caused by separate things. If a type 2 diabetic is later diagnosed as type 1 either: [LIST] [*]The initial diagnosis with type 2 was incorrect and they were always type 1; or [*]As autoimmune conditions can hit at any age it may be possible that someone with pre-existing type 2 diabetes might suffer an autoimmune attack and have type 1. This would not be type 2 developing into type 1. The auto immune attack would be entirely separate from and unrelated to pre existing type 2. I imagine this would be vanishingly rare/unheard of. [/LIST] No it's not. It's possible to have type 1 diabetes and be insulin resistant. That is referred to as double diabetes, but technically/medically that is not a thing. It would not be a medically recognised diagnosis or condition to say someone has type 1 and type 2 at the same time. [/QUOTE]
