Well, I don't think implying diabetes (type 2) is a lack of insulin is entirely accurate. The problem is insulin resistance in cells, because they're saturated with insulin, where they mostly stop responding to insulin. Which then results in the pancreas not being able to produce enough insulin to lower blood glucose. It's like a deaf person saying the music isn't loud enough -- the volume is fine, their ears are just shot. You can make the music louder (inject insulin), but their ears will just get worse. When you have that much insulin in your system though, you're definitely not losing weight -- because the cells are saturated with insulin they're definitely not in fat burning mode.
