Why should there be a difference? Insulin resistance is the inability of insulin to poke glucose into cells. Whether the insulin is naturally produced or injected is really besides the point. When animal insulins were used, incrementally increasing dosages was sometimes required because of autoimmune rejection problems. But this is not the case with modern "human" insulin.
