I understand a lot of what you're going through...I was also mis-diagnosed orginally, and when I finally got the correct diagnosis almost two years later I was very, very shocked and also extremely angry. Since being on this forum I've learned that being misdiagnosed is a lot more common that I would have ever thought.
My two cents worth:
1. Find an endo you like, or at least can be comfortable with. If you can't stand him, there are problems to come. The endo works for you...
2. Educate yourself! Get a copy of Using Insulin by John Walsh. Learn how the insulins work, and what you can do to learn how they work best for you. You are your own best advocate!

And, btw, it gets better.
