Hello
As you have said that your are 18 years old male , have diabetes type 1 and you will need insulin for that life long , check for any urine infections etc.Oral hypoglycemic agents like 50/500 will not be that helpful.
You are also hypothyroidism , antibodies causing diabetes and hypothyroidism are same , so if some one has DM type 1 then veryhigh chance he or she will develop hypothyroidism as well.
You need to take thyroxine life long as well .
Dont worry your life span will be normal if you adhere to medications.
Keep checking your hbaic for sugar 2 monthly and tsh monthly.
Take care
