Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. I am sorry to know the kid has developed t1 m. This is a condition where patient's beta cells (cells producing insulin in pancreas) are totally non functional. In such a situation only option is giving insulin and that too multiple doses as there absolutely no insulin being produced. So with every food intake there is a need for insulin. In children usually rapid acting insulins are used. However, a long acting insulin glargine (basalog) 100 units/ ml pen can be used once a day in addition 2 or 3 doses of lispro the rapid acting insulin. It is very tough for a child to take injections every day and for lifetime. But unfortunately there is no option at all. Other option is there are insulin pumps, which deliver insulin on a continuous basis. There is an instrument fixed on the abdomen which continuously releases insulin as required. You may enquire with some leading diabetologists in bangalore. It is an expensive treatment. But worth looking at. Thanks.
