This document summarizes a case study of a 15-year-old male patient with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes. Key details include a history of emotional stressors during pregnancy and childhood, suppressed skin infections leading to asthma then diabetes, and symptoms of anger, nail biting, and emotional sensitivity. The homeopathic remedy Medorrhinum 30C was prescribed based on the totality of symptoms, and over follow-up visits the patient's blood sugar levels came under control, insulin needs decreased, and general well-being improved. However, treatment was stopped due to the father's ego clashing with further treatment recommendations.

Type 1
Diabetes

3. You have Type 1 Diabetes if…
…Your fasting blood glucose level is higher than
110 mg/dL (tested twice)
…Your oral glucose tolerance [OGTT] is measured
higher than 200mg/dL after two hours
…You have a hemoglobin A1c level og 6.5% or
higher

4. Beta cells that produce
insulin slowly are destroyed
by the body’s immune
system in the blood vessels of
the pancreas which prevents
glucose from getting into
cells because of the low
insulin levels.
Genetics
Genetics have been linked to
the development of Type 1
Diabetes. At least 18 genetic
locations can have an effect
on Type 1 Diabetes, however,
low percentages of people
actually inherit the disease.
Therefore, genetics does not
fully explain the cause of the
disease.
Viruses
There is some research that shows that
viral infections may be the trigger to the
disease in some individuals who are
genetically susceptible.

5. There is no cure for Type 1 Diabetes, but there
are ways to monitor and control it. Treatment
plans depend on the individual, but there are
general guidelines someone with Diabetes follows
to ensure a healthy lifestyle This includes…
-taking insulin
-following a diabetes meal plan, or paying close
attention to diet.
-monitoring blood sugar levels
-getting regular physical activity.

6.  Diabetes is relatively easy to control as long as
you have medical attention. Minute
complications are not very common.
 There are possibilities of short term and long
term complications including disorders in the
kidney, and nerve fibers.
 However, maintaining normal blood sugar
levels and following a doctor’s treatment plan
should help someone with this disorder
maintain a normal life.
