Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes,it is when someone with type 1 diabetes develops insulin resistance, the key feature of type 2 diabetes.Someone with double diabetes will always have type 1 diabetes present but the effects of insulin resistance can be reduced somewhat.

Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
- It's rare for a patient to have both type 1 and type 2 diabetes simultaneously, as they are distinct conditions.
- Type 1 diabetes: Autoimmune condition with little or no insulin production.
- Type 2 diabetes: Involves insulin resistance, often linked to lifestyle and genetics.
-
Double Diabetes
- Some adults may exhibit features of both types, known as "double diabetes."
- This can occur if a type 1 diabetic develops insulin resistance or a type 2 diabetic has some autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells.
-
Recommendation
- Discuss concerns with a healthcare provider for specific tests and tailored treatment.
- Effective management depends on understanding the underlying type and individual factors.

I've been wondering if there's any medication or supplement that might help me increase my height. I'm currently 55 inches tall and 21 years old, and I'm hoping to grow about 12 inches. Is this possible, and do you have any advice or recommendations?
At 21, your growth plates are likely closed, making significant height increase challenging; there's no proven medicine or tablet to increase height in adults, but some supplements like Growth Factor Plus, Height Max, or vitamin Dcalcium may help maintain bone health, although results are not guaranteed and individual growth potential may vary.
