Type 1 diabetes is managed with medication. Since the underlying cause in these patients is insulin deficiency, insulin therapy should be initiated promptly and continued lifelong to maintain normal daily functioning. For individuals with type 1 diabetes, intensified insulin therapy—such as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) via an insulin pump—is recommended. It is advised to engage in appropriate physical activity within 30 minutes after meals and to carry a source of carbohydrates during exercise to prevent hypoglycemia.
