In which case they’re Type 2, no?

I really hate when an article says almost half, when the study had 113 participants.

The actual study says "Approximately 40% of the investigated patients with type 1 diabetes and ≥10 years duration of disease had measurable fasting C-peptide concentrations"

That also stinks.

the number of participants(113) that were producing some insulin was 46 for 40.7%.(I guess that's almost half{s/off}

The interesting study here:(see table 1 for the numbers) No explanation for why Type 1s produce insulin and a lot of hypothoses
