I can't remember the full diagnosis causes but they were immediately put on insulin. Then down the road, many many years down, they were determined to not need the insulin and were immediately taken off at which point thier body took over full control without any problems.

This affects only a small number of children who were diagnosed before the age of 6 months. It's some totally different, genetic form of diabetes. I don't remember exactly what goes wrong, though, something to do with potassium stopping the beta cells from producing insulin. Their body doesn't take full control once insulin is stopped, though. These kids are put on oral meds instead, and can stop injecting insulin because their beta cells start producing it once they're on the oral medication. They're not exactly Type 2 either, even though they use a T2 medication.
