There is certainly a great difference between T1 and T2 at the time of Dx, but as (or if) a T2 become insulin dependant the difference, unfortunately, begins to go away. An insulin dependant T2 is making little or no insulin in their pancreas; if hey were they wouldn't be insulin dependant.
Dr. Bernstein has done a lot of work on T2s and has written a book specifically directed to them.
