Hi I can understand your predicament , and believe me that you are not the only one who is seeking answer to your question . Perhaps, every individual with type 1 diabetes is hoping there will be some alternative to the insulin therapy . But the fact of the matter is there isn't. I know, it will disappoint you but the sooner you take it on on board, the better it will be to continue to take insulin in the future. As you might be knowing that in type1 diabetes, there is complete cessation of the insulin production and hence you have rely on the external source of insulin and the only way it can be administered is by injection. If you feel injecting 3 to 4 times a day is cumbersome, you can opt for having insulin pump fitted . Not every one in India offers this option but it is something worth exploring further . Other thing I would request you is to not get duped by gullible people, offering you alternate therapy to insulin. There are many in India who does propagate insulin alternate therapies and in fact you can see adverts on TV as well. Unfortunately there is no regulatory body to stop these happening and hence its up to the patients not to believe everything on the TV.
