Insulin resistance is defined as injections of at least 200 units per day with failure to lower significantly an elevated blood sugar in the absence of ketosis or acute infection. (Page 542)

Interesting definition I would like to say. If diabetic is Insulin Dependent than diabetic need less than 100 units of insulin. If diabetic is not insulin dependent than dose of insulin would be over 200 units daily. If some one able to get the medical logic or it is medical humor I still do not see what, than I hope one understand the point and difference between two definitions. I still do not get it.

In 1946, the author reported a young woman patient whose diabetes was so hypo-responsive to the action of insulin that she reached a peak requirement of 5,000 units per 24 hr to avert entry into ketone acidosis. Her case was constituted the focal point of a survey in 1948, which presented the natural history and clinical appraisal of 54 cases of insulin resistance. ( Page 542)

       The case of Insulin Resistance. No mention of the level of insulin. was insulin present in blood? No answer. But because of dose of injected insulin was over 200 patient was diagnosed "Insulin Resistant". I wander, if Insulin resistance is the condition of diabetes with need over 200 units of insulin in daily injections than why Insulin resistant Diabetics Type 2 do not have Insulin in Rx? Interesting, is not it?
      Diabetes type 2 presented that it is type of diabetes when insulin secretion is too high, but insulin used in wrong way. I am happy to accept it. There is only one problem. Why insulin in injections, so high in dose as 5,000 units a day, does not lead to complications, and diabetic finally recover and after 30 years of Insulin Therapy got it sugar-free. In contrary, when diabetic type 2 treated with life style modifications and Metformin as first line of therapy, life expectancy of diabetic type 2 less then 10 years after treatment started. Sugar constantly go up and up till finally life stop to exist.
      Every one do know how much medicine diabetic type 2 take, and how long do they live. What no one really know is that insulin resistance is the condition of the same insulin dependency but in very higher dose.

Current statue of patient: age , 47 ( was diagnosed at age 17) good general health and leads normal life:
premeal insulin dosage in units, 10 regular,12 regular,15 regular, - 26 ultralente with blood glucose, fasting - 2 hr postbreakfast-2hr post lunch = 85-115 - 100 mf/dl;weight 205 lbs, BP, chest film, ECG is normal; eyes, vision 20/20 , no retinopathy or glaucoma; kidney - blood urea nitrogen 16 mg/dl 24 hr urine , albumin 1.8 g; culture and ......... (page 543)

        Of cause, diabetics type 2, Insulin Resistant type of diabetes do not have so high insulin to inject. We are too good as we are. as Dr.E.Joslin said, diabetes is good disease.  Very profitable for all medical industry and political power. Take a look how much every diabetic type 2 cost to society. All that money go where? Right. Follow money before to blame victim. In case above diabetic is no longer 'Insulin resistant'. She is regular diabetic type 1 with dose of insulin to inject less then 100 units daily. Did she reversed her diabetes type 2? Sure she did. To decrease insulin injections from 5,000 units down to less then 100 units, she is hero.
     Not so many diabetics type 2 so lucky. At first diabetic must lost weight and then ....  .Well then there is no need in insulin injections. If there is no blood then there is no sugar in it. Simple logic, not possible to bit. Life perfectly modified.
