After 20 years with good control, my son is experiencing insulin resistance. Is it caused by his high CPK level or is his insulin pooling under the skin causing poor absorption? He has little body fat because he is a body builder.

My son was diagnosed with diabetes in October. We just received the results of his GAD test and my son was positive for three antibodies, indicating type 1. We thought he had type 2. Could the test be wrong? Could he get antibody injections? If so, would this be a cure?
