| Okay... any Type 1 can experience insulin resistance. This isn't limited to Type 1.5's. Type 1.5's are people who develop Type 1 diabetes over a much longer period of time. These people may or may not ever experience problems with insulin resistance, just like some Type 1's also occasionally experience resistance.
It is important to note, that the most prevalent cause of insulin resistance is obesity. That's one of the biggest reasons why it's so important to keep your weight in check and exercise (unless your sugars are above 300). Regardless, you should occasionally test for keytones if you are exercising.
I am a good example of this. I was 180 pounds at the time of diagnosis. I required very little insulin at first, because I was a thin person. I've since gained 80 pounds, and my ratio has gone from 3:15 to 7:15 (units:grams of carb).
Regards,
