Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes.

In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.

Will any insurance cover a Type 2 diabetic who takes insulin?
Yes, try a employer group plan or Mr. Mip. Some carriers will offer individual coverage to an insulin dependent Type 2 diabetic.

Type 2 diabetics are not insulin dependant. If you happen to be over 65 years of age and on Medicare, you are covered. Type 2 diabetes initially is not insulin dependent but the medications used soon become ineffective and the patient must resort to using insulin. I have been a type 2 diabetic for 20 years and take 3 different types of insulin which controls my blood glucose very well.
