I have bipolar type I, but often when I'm manic I don't realize I've reached full-blown until after the fact. I do recognize hypomania nowadays, but even with that I used to lack insight. I think the pdoc or tdoc is the best one to ask your type. They must put some kind of type in your records. All insurance companies ask for a dx code. The dx code generally gives some indication. If it is a generic code like what was Bipolar NOS, then perhaps it just isn't established. Chances are over time the illness will become clearer and clearer.
