They are slightly different in composition. So there will be difference in onset and peak action. However, you can try it and see whether the blood sugar control is acceptable. Your fasting and pp levels are high it should be below 130 and 180 respectively. Also get an hba1c done to have a better understanding of your blood sugar control.

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.

It's very essential to have a blood sugar level that can be controlled by oral medicines. If you're taking insulin it means your sugar is not under control. Get hba1c levels checked and also fasting and post prandial blood sugars at regular intervals. If the range is coming at an acceptable level you can be put on oral medicines.
