The best way to manage type 1 diabetes is by adjusting insulin based on Carbohydrates in the food. It's called DAFNE (Dose adjustment for normal eating). This is the method followed in the most European counties. The kid never get good control without this method. By the time he is 30 yrs old with poor control, he may have problems with kidneys, eyes and feet.

Type 1 Diabetes is not a simple time of diabetes where u just see a sugar report and prescribe insulin dose. We need to have regular monitoring of sugars with glucometer at least thrice a day. Following that need HBA1c report every three months. Type 1 Diabetic patients need to be on linsuin life long. Need to ensure proper insulin technique and of course most important diet. So better to consult endocrinologist for detailed history and examination
