Type 2 diabetics still produce the correct amount of insulin, there body just does not use it properly.
Recombinant DNA technology is used to produce insulin for diabetics. This involves inserting the human insulin gene into bacteria or yeast cells, which then produce insulin that is identical to the one produced by our bodies.
An insulin pump will supply insulin when it is needed, such as during a meal. It helps type 1 diabetics because they can't supply their own.
Type-1 diabetics are generally insulin-dependent, but not all insulin-dependent diabetics are type-1. Type-1 refers to how the patient contracted diabetes -- by having their pancreatic beta cells stop producing insulin, usually due to an autoimmune disorder. Type-2 diabetics became diabetic through a combination of genetic and lifestyle problems that reduced insulin production and/or increased insulin resistance. Type-2 diabetics usually begin treatment with diet changes and oral medications that increase insulin production or reduce resistance, rather than taking injections of actual insulin. But a Type-2 diabetic may become insulin-dependent over time, if treatment isn't effective. The high blood sugar can attack the pancreas (through oxidative stress and amyloidosis), reducing insulin production until even oral medications are no longer adequate.
