Get Type 1 Diabetes Treatment Online

Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Because the body produces little or no insulin on its own, daily insulin therapy is required for survival. Type 2 Diabetes, by contrast, is primarily a condition of insulin resistance in which the body still produces some insulin but cannot use it effectively.

Treatment typically involves a combination of a long-acting basal insulin, such as insulin glargine (Lantus or Toujeo), to maintain steady background glucose control, and a rapid-acting mealtime insulin, such as insulin lispro (Humalog) or insulin aspart (Novolog), to manage blood sugar after meals. Your physician will recommend the combination that fits your lifestyle and glucose patterns.

Signs that your dose may need adjustment include frequent high blood sugar readings (hyperglycemia), repeated low blood sugar episodes (hypoglycemia), wide swings in your glucose levels throughout the day, or an HbA1c that is outside your target range. A licensed physician can review your glucose logs and current regimen to recommend appropriate changes.

Yes. Continuous glucose monitors such as the Dexcom or FreeStyle Libre provide real-time glucose readings that make it easier to time insulin doses and catch highs and lows before they become dangerous. Our physicians can discuss how to integrate CGM data into your management plan.

DKA is a life-threatening complication of Type 1 Diabetes that occurs when the body breaks down fat for fuel and produces ketones. Warning signs include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, fruity-smelling breath, extreme thirst, frequent urination, and confusion. If you experience these symptoms, seek emergency medical care immediately rather than using a telehealth service.

Pramlintide (Symlin) is an FDA-approved adjunct therapy for adults with Type 1 Diabetes who use mealtime insulin. It helps reduce blood sugar spikes after meals but does not replace insulin. Some physicians also consider SGLT-2 inhibitors off-label for select patients, but this requires careful monitoring. Any additional medication should be discussed with a licensed physician.
