| What neither of you are saying, is the most important part. Have you had an anti-body test? If you aren't sure, ask! The only way to know if you are a Type 2 or a Type 1.5 is to have an anti-body test done. If you have no anti-bodies, you are a type 2, if you do have anti-bodies, you are a Type 1.5.
Either way, don't ask to be put on insulin... demand it. Tell them it's your care, not theirs. You want to be put on insulin to get your numbers under control. Later, if it's not needed, you can come off of it, but you need to get those numbers down now.
Regards,
