Diabetologist,  's  Response
Hello, Thanks for the query.
In case of T1 diabetes the only treatment is to give Insulin injection in adequate dose. Along with that there has to be a close look at her diet and what kind of physical activities she is doing. Because only drug does not help. Blood glucose should be maintained as follows : FBG: <100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg and HbA1c% <6.8. So it is very necessary to check her blood glucose atleast twice a day. Close monitoring of insulin dose and glucose levels is needed. Thanks.
