Hello,
I am sorry to say that Diabetes Mellitus type 1 is treated only with insulin for a lifetime. It is type 2 which is treated with medicine.
The difference is that type 1 is present from birth, so you just have it and the type 2 is earned in life. So in children, most of the cases, we have type 1 so Insulin is the only solution.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi
