T2D how to differentiate the types?

[Dini297]

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?

We can always check for Hyperinsulinemia by checking fasting insulin ....

we can always go for MRI scan and know about condition of liver...also we can get some hints thru liver function tests in blood report...

Hyperinsulinemia? Mine fbs was 112 now chaged tbrough diet to 96. Have also fatty liver grade 2 (US can).But can we point in the real cause?

[cure Administrator in reply to Dini297]

If Hyperinsulinemia...then cause is IR...

No one knows the exact cause of IR...may be hepatic IR due to fatty liver....

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.
