Can we diagnose what type in t2D in the starting stage?. I mean is it insulin resistance?, or lack of insulin?, or liver issues(fatty liver). Seems t2 is a bit complicated and the onslaught is different for different people. Is there anyway of knowing the root cause?

Insulin C-peptide is measured to tell the difference between insulin the body produces and insulin someone injects into their body.

Someone with type 1 or type 2 diabetes may have their C-peptide level measured to see if their body is still producing any insulin. It may also be measured in cases of low blood sugar to see if the person's body is producing too much insulin.

In general practice, the fasting blood glucose and insulin levels are usually adequate to determine whether insulin resistance and/or diabetes is present.
