Insulin dependent T2 means your pancreas probably still produces insulin, it's not enough. So you inject it. Resistant means you aren't using what you do produce. It's not getting into the cells, so you use an oral med to help things along. I feel there is no such thing as "pre" diabetes. It's like being pregnant. You are, or not.
