I just read this sticky and I saw this "In essence, someone who is insulin resistant is on the total opposite end of the spectrum than someone who is diabetic. In a diabetic, they either do not produce enough insulin on their own or none at all. For someone who is IR, they produce WAAAAYYY too much."
It depends on the type of diabetes you are talking about. Type I is an autoimmune form and they dont' make insulin. But Type II is caused by IR but there are advanced cases where they need to inject insulin b/c the body doens't produce it anymore. But from i understand, Type II is caused by IR and it's very much related.
