Treatment for type 1 diabetes involves the continual use of insulin therapy, good food choices and regular activity. When these three are working well together, blood sugar has a much better chance of staying in a healthy range.
Insulin Therapy
Insulin therapy is way of life for people with type 1 diabetes. The more you understand how insulin works in the body and when to take it, the better you will be able to manage your blood sugar or that of your child.
Diet
