I didn't realize that people assumed you couldn't develop insulin resistance as a type 1. It's just not the cause of type 1 diabetes. But if you eat a poor diet and don't stay active, you will develop insulin resistance no matter what. So then a type 1 will be insulin dependent and insulin resistant, needing to take more insulin than would be typical of someone with a good diet.
