If your body is producing “enough” then you don’t have diabetes, type 1 or 2. That’s where you are incorrect.

I did not imply this. The text you quoted was in response to this:

no… Type 1 = not producing, Type 2 = resistance/not absorbing

That is an incorrect statement as this is not what distinguishes the two diagnoses. A type 1 diabetic who is not insulin dependent (yet) will have a very different treatment profile than a type 2 who is producing the same amount of insulin, but obviously both are not producing enough or they would not be diabetic. Hell, if you tell a doctor you're type 1 they often ask you if you're insulin dependent.

However, type 2 is (generally) characterized by insulin resistance as you indicated.

That seems to be the pattern of your replies here, factual information with a common layman's misunderstanding peppered on top. I took the bait, so that's on me.
