Endocrinologist: He needs a good endocrinologist and a better life style and a whole different approach to life, or he won't be around long enough to be a husband.

Adjustments: Proper treatment of type 1 dm involves more than just insulin. Your husband needs to take this disease seriously and make some adjustments to maintain proper diet and exercise routine as well. I recommend seeing a dietician to learn what he should and shouldn't eat.
