I am a type 1 and had positive antibodies and was making no insulin by the time of my antibody and c-peptide test years ago. I was already on insulin as I was misdiagnosed as a type 2 for years, the drugs they tried all made me sick so I was put on insulin.
I have no idea about insulin resistance. I take a total of about 50 units a day of Humalog in a pump. So while that’s not the least I’ve heard of people taking, it has never seemed bad either,
It wouldn’t be adding “more” insulin. It would be replacing some of my Humalog so I can have a faster acting insulin when I do spike. My spiking isn’t really that bad, my control is great. Lol, I just posted this link somewhere else, but here are my numbers.
