How can a type 2 diabetic know when their body is producing no insulin. are there symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High sugars: Type 2 diabetics can still make insulin, they just don't make as much as their body requires to overcome insulin resistance. If your pancreas truly stops making insulin, your sugar would rise significantly and you would develop increase thirst, urination, and start losing weight. One can check a c-peptide level to assess how much insulin your pancreas is making.
