Type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are so different that they should have different names

I propose calling Type 1: “Dysfunctional Pancreas Disorder” and Type 2: “Excessive Caloric Intake Disorder”.

Type 1 is caused by a damaged or malfunctioning pancreas that cannot produce insulin. It is often caused by a viral infection that triggers the immune system into attacking the beta cells of the pancreas; the cells that create insulin.

Type 2 is caused by an excess of calories especially quick-burning calories like corn syrup, sugar and processed starches. An influx of calories, combined with no exercise to burn the calories or create demand for calories in the muscles creates a condition where the calories are then stored as fat, if there is already an excess of fat the calories (sugar) has no where to go and thus you get raised blood sugar levels. The problem with giving insulin to people with Excessive Calorie Syndrome is that insulin will increase weight gain, ie fat growth, if the person is not exercising, read the insert that comes with the insulin, it says it there. People with Type 2 need to know this.

I’ll be making a notebook for Type 1 diabetes, Dysfunctional Pancreas Disorder, which I picked up during a COVID-19 bioweapon infection. Subscribe below to get updates when new articles and guides/books are posted.

Update 9/27/25 I saw this video of a guest on the Jimmy Dore show discussing how having stomach reduction surgery enabled him to no longer need insulin. This fits with my Type 2 diabetes as excess calorie syndrome theory, as the surgery forces the person to reduce food intake.

In the video John mentions that the surgery stimulates the pancreas to start creating insulin but after checking research on bariatric surgery and diabetes outcomes, this looks like the reduction in insulin is due to weight loss and reduced calorie intake. This research review found that bariatric surgery had much more clear results in those with Type 2, (T2DM) than those with Type 1 (T1DM)

In contrast to the results concerning weight loss and insulin requirements, the effects of bariatric surgery on HbA1c seem to be inconsistent among studies.¹

I found another study which showed similar results. T1DM patients which were obese were able to reduce insulin usage but not get off of it altogether.

Numerous reports have been published on the beneficial effects of obesity surgery on glucose control and metabolic disorders in impaired glucose tolerant and type 2 diabetic subjects, with an impressive 70–90% of diabetic patients remaining euglycemic without diabetes medications several years after the surgery.²

Their observation and conclusion was that the weight loss contributed in reduction in insulin resistance.

This observation may suggest the presence of clinically significant insulin resistance in severely obese type 1 diabetic subjects (12), which was subsequently reduced once weight loss occurred.²
