Did you have tests to confirm the T1? Just because you use insulin now does not make you T1. I am, and always will be, an insulin dependent T2.

thank you for answering me back. in 2005 i was told i was t2 but last month my endocronogist or however you spell it did blood work and just let me know that i was misdiagonsed and am actually a t1. i have asked to be put on a pump but so far they will not do this. my sugars have been over 300 since i was diagnosed and sometimes it will be 500 for a week at a time which is why now i guess i have the neuropathy. i was told i was able to use pump with my type 2 diabetes. i will get the ALA supplements tomorrow. again thanks.
