T2D patients also have a reduced amount of insuline-producing beta cells. At diagnosis, there's been a 50% destruction of insuline-producing beta-cells. The destruction progresses with the disease.
I really wish the discussion on T2 would change - I'm tired of being blamed for being diabetic by medical professionals, I even lost a significant amount of weight (well over 100 lbs) but the diabetes returned.
In my case, my liver seems to emit a virtually endless amount of glucose, This is probably why I'm fat, and oddly, when my diabetes is well controlled, I'm never hungry, when its poorly controlled I'm hungry all the time and gain weight - which is how I was most of my life, being hungry virtually 24/7, even when my blood sugar was normal.
