Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. For T1 diabetes, only treatment is insulin as in these patients there is literally no insulin produced. So if 15 units twice a day is not helping control, then dose may have to be increased or a prandial (with lunch) insulin may have to be added. Plus one has to look at the diet pattern and exercise too. A close co-ordination between the patient and care providing doctor has to be there. Thanks.
