If you body doesn’t produce enough insulin, isn’t that type I diabetes?
Insulin resistance I thought was type II, where your body produces plenty of insulin, but the receptors just don’t pay attention...
That isn’t the defination of type 1 or type 2. Type 1 means your body stopped producing insulin and you are always afflicted before the age of 40yo. Type 2 is due to age and lifestyle and the body either can’t use the insulin it produces or the pancreas can’t produce enough. Some type 2 will also at some point stop producing insulin but they still are classified as a type 2. Also type 1 is an autiommune diease where type 2 isn’t.
I’m type 11 diabetic and insulant resistant.
