Sorry but a type 2 can never become a type 1 because they are caused by differently.Really according to my edo the only thing the 2 dieases have in common is that they both close high glucose levels and are treated with the same drugs sometimes. You can however be an insulin dependant type 2. I’ve been a type 1 diabtic since I was 9 years old which was close to 40 years ago. It would be wonderful to find something else to help.

Sorry, but not all Type IIs are the same. Type IIs are not immune from loss of beta cells. Type Is are not immune from the condition described as insulin resistance.

So, yeah, from the inside ~ as a Type II I recognize that I am gradually losing my beta cells ~ it's just taking longer than most Type Is ~ or, maybe not.

These two conditions are not mutually exclusive and people can have both.
