Imagine a T2 with Islets in both legs and arms... the equivilent of 4 or 5 pancreas's all producing insulin... enough perhaps to overcome that person's resistance, and allow them to lead a "normal" life  |
Still doesn't answer my question though...if I understand correctly, insulin *resistance* isn't necessarily that the body isn't making enough insulin, but that it's not using it correctly, right? I understand it will help make more insulin if the body isn't making enough, but how would making more insulin help the body use it more efficiently?
