I just don't understand where type 1.5 comes into play??.

As a 1.5 I can tell you that it never ceases to be confusing. In general, we 1.5s don't fit the accepted definitions for either type 1 or 2. In fact, a 1.5 can have signs and symptoms of both types 1 and 2, or neither. When I was diagnosed I had symptoms of both and was intially listed as type 2.
I suppose a diagnosis of 1.5 is much like the doctor saying you have a virus or prescribing antibiotics when they really don't know what the problem is. It happens quite often.
To echo some others, a type 1 is a type 1, a type 2 is a type 2 and, believe it or not, a type 1.5 is a type 1.5. At the risk of echoing Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?"
