Type 2 can have a reduced insulin production, as well as the insulin resistance. In fact, insulin resistance can put increased demand on production and exhaust the producing islet cells.

Since type 2 is not an immune system disease, in that case there's no need for immune suppressing drugs!

Don't understand the kidney thing either:-)
