Thanks again ladybirdd64, I have seen my diabetic nurse and she has clarified that I am T2 and explained the difference this is some thing that I was never told in hospital or by any one ells, so for the last 3 to4 years I've been thinking I've been T1. Bless you, its taken a load off my mind.

Thanks ladybirdd64 you have put my mind at rest but how can you tell that I am T2 and not T1? I know I started of T2 and on Metformin, then I went into Hospital for a Bladder Infection and they put me on Injections so I thought I had gone to T1, I shall see my Doctor. Thanks again
