[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1431102, member: 211362"] Welcome :) I'm insulin dependant because I no longer produce the insulin I need. I'm still type 2. You may well be type 1.5 or type 1. Then again you just may be the same as me in that you don't produce much insulin and need insulin therapy to manage your diabetes. Being insulin dependant type 2 doesn't make me a type 1.5 or type 1.... they have done the auto immune tests on me (the GAD test has been done 3 times on me) and it always comes back showing that I'm still type 2. But whatever the type, if you need insulin, you need it. The only time you don't need it is when you produce sufficient insulin and you can manage with diet and/or oral medications. I wish you the best. :) [/QUOTE]
