Have you ever had a C-Peptice of GAD Antibody test done? Neither are 100% positive, but they help show which direction you are going in your type.

As for does it matter? Personally, no, just whatever works. I know insurance companies and doctors like to know what type one is. But this day and age, it doesn't matter. There are type 2s on insulin that test as much as a type 1 does. I don't know of any type 1s on oral meds, but there could be one out there. I think it's just up to what gets your numbers in control.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
