I feel like the article comingles Type 1 and Type 2 a bit too much. My understanding is that although symptoms/pathology is similar, treatments between the two are very different.
- maxerickson 7y agoThe pathology is quite different. In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas stops producing insulin. In Type 2, cells stop responding to it. So insulin is a necessary component of treatment for Type 1, whereas the first line treatments for Type 2 improve cellular response to naturally produced insulin.
