Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 GREETINGS -- If your son has Type I diabetes, that means the antibodies in his body have attacked/erased the Beta cells in his pancreas which actually produce the insulin. His body needs insulin not only to control blood sugars but for many of his body functions to happen. By being classified as a Type I your son has no more than 10% 0f his Beta cells remaining. All of the oral medications I am aware of are only used in Type II diabetics who are still producing insulin. There is some research underway in hopes of being able to inhale a form of insulin, but it is still a long way away from being readily available. I am not a Type I diabetic, but I have been injecting insulin for ten years. I was affraid of needles when I first started, but I got used to them. I do not like them now but I do tolerate them. One option is to use a syringe with as small a needle as posible to miimze any pain. wambo1941 > Hello, > > I am residing in India (Gujarat).
