I don't mean to hyjack this thread, but I am a type 1 diabetic, and I'm not sure I understand at all what you are saying - T1 is an autoimmune disease that results in the eventual destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas (which produce insulin, so no beta cells = no insulin). While it's possible to be a T1 still producing some insulin for a while (often referred to as the "honeymoon phase" which can last anywhere from a few months to a few years) after that point most don't produce any insulin at all.. there really isn't much room for being inbetween..

Simply being insulin deficient does not make someone a type 1.. taking insulin does not automatically make a diabetic a type 1 either. Have you had antibody testing to confirm the T1 diagnosis, or is it an assumption based on a lowish c-peptide test?
