And in the late stages of Type 2, the amount of insulin naturally produced may also be very low, because of degeneration of Beta cells. This does not mean, however, as someone as claimed. that T2 "turns into" T1. The cause of the two disease process are still different and what is required for a cure is different.
If a T1 has their Beta cell function restored, there is still the problem of the autoimmune response; if a T2 has their Beta cell function restored, there is still insulin resistance.
