Either you are antibody positive, or you aren't. It's a yes or no question. So if your results are showing you as "borderline" for the antibody tests then that would suggest you are antibody positive and type 1. You could ask for an explaination for what antibodies have been screened for and what the results were.
I'm not sure what the nurse was talking about with "insulin in reserve", possibly a cpeptide test? It's not unusual for type 1s to have residual insulin production, this is what the honeymoon period is.
If you can't get you blood sugars down then it sounds like your insulin regime needs adjusting. You lantus should be keeping your blood sugar stable without food or bolus doses. You can do some basal testing to see if it is or whether an adjustment to the 26 unit dose is required -

Your novorapid should be covering your food and correcting highs. Most type 1s are carb counting, you seem to be on fixed doses. You should ask for a place on a DAFNE course or do the free NHS online course to learn about carb counting -

If you're having results in the 20s you should be testing for ketones and correcting. You should seek guidence on your correction dose.
