As for insulin resistance- there are varying degrees such as MODY and
others who do not have the classic presentation, and fall somewhere in
between- have "sputtering pancreas" that is they have irregular insulin
production.


  Based on refereed reports in the medical literature, roughly
5% of biopsed celiacs have Type 1 diabetes (versus 0.5% in the general
population) and roughly 5% have Type II (same as in general population).

Medical management and advice for the two types is quite different.

exercise.

I don't  understand what you mean by medical management for the two
types being "quite different", other than the mandatory insulin
requirement for Type 1's.

In fact, I see more common ground between type 1's & 2- in that the
basic management recommendations are the same.

Watching carb intake, using exercise to stimulate metabolic function,
and all of the potential complications are exactly the same.

Could you please explain the other differences?
