The doctor can do a blood test to check for GAD antibodies. Also a c-peptide test to see if you are producing any insulin. Tell them the medication is not working and your numbers are high. This will rule in or out type 1. Please be aware of the symptoms Antje77 has listed for diabetic ketoacidocis. It can be very dangerous and landed me in hospital. I was told I was type 2 then after medication didn’t work the blood tests showed I was type 1 and urgently needed insulin. Hope you sort this soon.</blockquote>
