Hi! im sorry to hear that about your son.
Juvenile Diabetes or what we call as type 1 Diabetes is when the cells that produce insulin are destroyed. Insulin is needed to help move the glucose or the sugar inside the cells for it to function well. So treatment for Juvenile diabetes is basically Insulin. Many patients with this kind of illness can still live a healthy life as long as the blood sugar levels are within the normal range. Your doctor will advise you to monitor blood sugar regularly. There are insulin pens that are easier and more convenient to use. You can also ask your doctor about it. It will be a big adjustment to you and your family but it will get easier in time. You can join organizations and support groups to give you 1st hand advise and guidance. I hope I was able to help. For more questions and clarifications, don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
