Hi Gary and welcome to the forum.

If you have insulin resistance then you are a TYPE 2 - see the link below

As Marty said you will find a host of information on here. Any questions, just ask. Someone on here will have been there, done that, of just know the answer. Good luck in your journey through this strange condition.

Welcome to the forum Gary.
When you say Had 32 litres put back in,32 litres of what exactly?

Remember, that long term type 1s can develop insulin resistance as well. Is that type 1.5 or type 3?
