[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1699792, member: 21149"] Hi. I agree you are probably T3c and not T2. T3c is where there is pancreatic damage such as pancreatitis. It's essentially the same as T1 which is due to anti-body attack. The c-peptide test will show the level of your own insulin production so may be worth asking for. NICE recommends that T1s are on the Basal/Bolus regime aka MDI which I'm on. It involves two insulins and 4 to 5 injections per day. It gives much better control than the mixed insulin you are on. It certainly helps if your meal-times are dis-ordered as you inject and adjust the number of units with the Bolus at each meal (called carb-counting). I would ask the DN or clinic to change you to that insulin regime as long as you are happy to have 4 to 5 injections rather than 2. I would also ask if possible for your recorded diagnosis to be changed from T2 to the 'correct' one. [/QUOTE]
