Is there any effective supplement that i can take to grow taller? i'm 18 and diabetic, type 1.

No: Our height is determined by the genes we got from our parents. There are no supplements that change that.

Unlikely to happen: You are most likely to reach your tallest potential height by following a healthy diet, getting appropriate sleep and remaining physically active.Nothing you eat or drink will add inches.You can stunt your growth by the opposite, poor diet/sleep/inactivity can all take a toll.If the growth centers in your bones are open you may grow taller, but at 18 they may be closed, with growth ended.
