| What medication you take has NOTHING to do with type.
Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where your body attacks the islet cells (insulin producers) of the pancreas and essentially kills them off.
Type 2 is either insulin resistance or where your body isn't producing enough insulin for one reason or another (generally it's dying off from overworked.) Some type 2s eventually go on insulin as their resistance increases extremely high or they pancreas is overworked.
I would say you are a type 2 if you have part of the pancreas removed. Or maybe that's a type 7 (wait, you're new, so you won't get that yet.
Welcome to the site though.
