Ambiguous. Do you mean 90% of Type IIs have insulin resistance OR 90% of
diabetics are Type II?  Insulin resistance defines Type II, Hence all have
it.

The latter is true BUT less important to this list of celiac-diabetics
than "90%".  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.
