Yeah, but the issue appears to be the the receptors receiving the insulin, not the production of insulin. I'm not a guru on diabetes, but it appears it's a different "Type" that will require a different type of treatment.
Very likely. I'm no doctor, nor do I play one on TV. I am a Type 1, but I only know how to deal with that from my own experience. Type 1ers don't make any insulin, but Type 2ers (by far the most common type) do--it's just that they don't make enough, or it can't be used properly. So a Type 3 sounds like a localized Type 2 problem.
I'm not sure what this would mean. My grandpa has Type 1 and Alzheimer's--so if Alzheimer's is Type 3, then according to the theory he has two variations of diabetes. I don't know how that would work. Maybe the Type 1 destroyed the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, and the Type 3 destroys insulin receptors in the brain. Who knows. We'll see where the science takes us on this one.
