90 % Rule

I think it worked only at the beginning stages. My endo told me a while ago that you dont show symptoms of type one until around 90% of your beta cells are gone. There has been some research that suggests that you make beta cells forever but that leads to other questions. Like why do type 2s eventually need insulin? Also if you make beta cells forever why do we type one's exist in the first place? Hope this could be of some help.
