I am confused here. I can't see how you can be both insulin resistant and insulin sensitive at the same time. If you had insulin resistance, you would have to use large amounts of insulin to control your blood sugar levels. But you use very small amounts of insulin. So you can't be insulin resistant.

I have also seen articles suggesting that T1 and T2 are manifestations of the same thing, but they really don't make sense. T1 and T2 are clinically completely different conditions and only have a symptom in common - inability to control blood glucose levels. T1 is a disease of insulin production failure, while T2 is a disease of insulin resistance. Sure, it is possible to suffer from both of them at the same time. It is often referred to as "Double Diabetes". But large amounts of insulin have to be injected to overcome the insulin resistance and satisfy insulin requirements.

It doesn't sound like you have any insulin resistance at this stage. But, especially based on your family history, you may well start experiencing it over time. When this happens, you will have to increase your insulin dosage. A T2 family background is not required for this to happen. Increasing insulin levels, because of increasing insulin resistance, is part of the aging process. It just happens much more quickly in some people than it does with others.
