The main treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin therapy, which aims to maintain blood sugar levels within a target range. Here are some common methods of delivering insulin:

1. Insulin injections: Insulin is injected using syringes, insulin pens, or insulin pumps. Injections can be given multiple times a day using different types of insulin based on individual needs.

2. Insulin pumps: These small devices deliver insulin continuously through a catheter placed under the skin. Users can adjust the basal rate and administer extra bolus doses as needed.

3. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM): CGM systems use a sensor placed under the skin to monitor blood sugar levels continuously and provide real-time readings. This helps in managing blood sugar levels and making timely treatment adjustments.

4. Carbohydrate counting and meal planning: Individuals with type 1 diabetes need to monitor their carbohydrate intake closely and dose their insulin accordingly to maintain stable blood sugar levels after meals.

5. Exercise management: Regular physical activity is important for overall health but can affect blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It is essential to balance medication, food intake, and exercise to prevent hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

6. Diabetes education and support: Proper education about managing diabetes, including self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, understanding symptoms of high or low blood sugar, and knowing how to respond effectively, can greatly help in daily management.

Remember that proper medical guidance from healthcare professionals is crucial for developing an individualized treatment plan tailored to your daughter's specific needs and circumstances.

Insulin is the only standard therapy for TYPE1 DM. Please understand there is inability to make insulin with this illness. Hence, all the other conventional medications in the form of pills etc that can be used for type 2 diabetes would not work. Those meds work by pushing the beta cells of your pancreas to make more insulin.
In type1 we are mission those cells completely hence insulin has to be externally supplemented.

Type one diabetes is always treated with an insulin of some sort. That is not to say that they don't use additional medication that might be oral but insulin is necessary for type one. With type one the B islet cells In the pancreas have been attacked and destroyed. Therefore those cells cannot make insulin any more. This is a different thing where type 2 does not have this. And if your body cannot make insulin it cannot take the sugar from the bloodstream and put it into the cells of the body. Therefore type one has to have supplemental insulin given. And I understand that the idea of giving insulin to children or anybody for that matter makes someone worried because too much is bad and too little can cause problems. It's a balancing act of managing diet glucose readings and insulin every day for the rest of that person's life.... The good thing is after the diet improves and the insulin is stabilized in treatment so that similar doses are given throughout the day it will get better.... And we have new monitors to make life easier as well As some people get pumps for insulin application.

The only treatment is insulin; can be given by injections, insulin pens or insulin pumps.

Only INSULIN.

Your daughter need insulin. This can be delivered in a variety of ways. A pediatric endocrinology can tailor a regimen that is best for her.
