Need more info: Most people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes continue to make insulin for many years. The way to tell this is by measuring a blood level of c-peptide. Also- Since you are only 45, if you are not obese, would check with your doctor to see if you might have later onset type 1.

I agree completely with the above, unfortunately the test with the answer is not here...your doctor or one on HealthTap could arrange for the c-peptide if necessary.
