Does it matter which type your treated for ?

I was diagnosed as t2 but suspect I could be slow onset t1.The specialist nurse agrees this is possible.She explained the main concern was getting good control of my bg so after 18 months on oral meds I am now on insulin.
Should I be concerned that I do not know which type I am ? where its going ?
Do t2s get given the same insulins, advice on manageing with diet ect as t1s ??

levermir + novorapid + metformin
