Has anyone heard of this? My dr believes I am *both* type 1 and type 2 (diagnosed type 1 40 years ago). I'm clearly type 1, and the type 2, he infers because of my family history--dad, type 2 at 65, brother type 2 (needing insulin now) 28 yrs ago. Which would mean I am both insulin sensitive and insulin resistant. My insulin sensitivity is clear--I use very little; he believes my insulin resistance is suppressed by my thinness (despite the belly I see in mirror
my BMI is good) and my exercise activity (I'm a good tho sporadic swimmer and bicycle rider).
He says about 10% of diabetics fall in this category.
I googled it and found at that there's an theory being explored that says that rather than type 1 and type 2 being basically separate but with same symptoms, they are on a continuum.
Would appreciate hearing from others about this.
