A member asked:
Is it possible for a person to get both diabetes type 1 and 2?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes : Patients with type 1 diabetes who develop Insulin resistance requiring lots of Insulin have both. It is sometimes referred to as type 1 1/2 dm. There is some thought that types 1 and 2 dm might be the same disease on opposite ends of the spectrum. Patients with type 2 can develop the same antibodies as patients with type 1. This is often referred to as lada: latent autoimmune diabetes of adults.
