At age 31 and unless you have a lot of excess weight, being T1 (LADA) is quite likely. It sounds like the doc will be testing for antibodies such as GAD & IA2 which are the common cause of pancreatic beta cell failure in T1. As there are other causes such as viruses, these days a C-Peptide test is also commonly done to check your actual insulin level. It if it's high that implies T2 and if it's low that implies T1. As you have other conditions at play these may affect any tests or diagnosis. The Metformin will help a bit but if T1 then further meds would be needed. In the meantime, do reduce the carbs in your diet to help reduce blood sugar and possibly weight.</p></blockquote><p></p>
