With me, it did matter. I was misdiagnosed as a T1 and taking insulin with no oral meds for 10 years. This didn't work very well!! Now that I'm correctly diagnosed as a T2, my blood sugars are stable and controllable for the first time on oral meds alone.

Does it matter as long as your blood sugars are good? Not really. But for me it did because I wasn't able to get the right treatment. Hopefully, what happened to me is pretty rare though.
