Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the pancreas stops producing insulin. It most often appears in childhood or early adulthood and requires insulin from the point of diagnosis.
Getting the basics right
Good outcomes depend less on any single drug and more on getting the fundamentals right: correct insulin type and timing, accurate carbohydrate counting, dose adjustment for exercise and illness, and knowing how to handle a hypo confidently.
Technology
Modern management options include continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy, which together can significantly reduce both hypoglycaemia and long-term variability. Dr. Goel works regularly with CGM data and pump settings, and helps families decide whether the added cost and complexity is worthwhile in their situation.
Support for families
A new Type 1 diagnosis in a child is overwhelming. Consultations are structured to cover practical questions — school, sports, fasting, travel and sick-day rules — rather than numbers alone.
