Mr. lybrate-user, Diabetes mellitus occurs either due to deficiency of insulin or resistance to its action or both. Hence, the most suitable medicine for diabetes is insulin itself. Hence there is no question of that causing any bad effect on the body. In T1 DM only insulin is given as the treatment for lifetime. Thanks.

Using Insulin may have bad effects but not using insulin may cause big damage.
