Hi,
Unlike in adults, diabetes in a child needs insulin treatment for long. Oral drugs do not have much role here. A pediatric endocrinologist is the best one to mange this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
