Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the query, it is too general. There's no mention of blood glucose levels (either fasting or PP) and HbA1c%, so it is difficult to understand the situation. please give correct information including his diet and exercise being done. Then I will be able to guide. Thanks.

Mr Vijay, For T1 DM only medicine that works is Insulin injection world over. There is no other drug that can hepl in this condition. He has to be counseled to manage his insulin dosage and food intake. For a young person it is quite tough, but there is no alternative. In fact in bigger hospitals usually there is a group of T1 diabetes patients who meet regularly and discuss about problems related to kids with T1DM. That will be very helpful for him.

Thanks for the query.
Insulin is usually recommended to be taken half an hour before food. Because by the time digestion of food converts it to glucose, insulin is available for action.
Insulin does not cause any other side effects. Occasionally if food delayed or if inadequate food is taken, then there is a possibility of glucose level going down (hypoglycemia).
If you have any other doubts please come back. Thanks.
