More, I think, that it's something that immune cells start reacting to in a paraticular way. We are moving slowly in the direction of an idea that people with T1D have some insulin resistance as well as the autoimmune attack, and people with T2D, may have some autoimmunity in addition to their insulin resistance.
In terms of good and useful information, I assume you have already accessed Diabetes Australia (http://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au)? They have a lot of useful information of all kinds. The Victorian branch (http://www.dav.org.au) has recipes, too, which makes me happy.
I have it on good authority that the low GI thing is really helpful, and I can absolutely recommend a book called "Food for Everyone", which is low GI AND has tasty recipes... I can't find it on line but will let you know the author when I get home.
