Antibodies against insulin

Antibodies against insulin

way to elaborate... anyways every study i have seen seems to indicate that the antibodies are not a response to the use of exogenous insulin but instead are a genetic defect.

Yes, antibodies against insulin can be a genetic defect. But, this's only seen with type I DM.

When you're using exogenous insulin, your body MAY recognize it as an antigenis substance and your immune system responds by starting producing antibodies against it...

That's a way to differntiate between a patient with insulin-producing tuour and exogenous insulin intake. With exogenous insulin intake, you MAY find antibodies.

Notice the word MAY carefully!
