It depends on the case. A patient should be evaluated to determine if it's possible to be off meds.

I recommend you see a Pediatric endocrinology

Diabetic neuropathy is caused by high blood sugar levels sustained over a long period of time. Other factors can lead to nerve damage, such as: damage to the blood vessels caused by high cholesterol levels. mechanical injury, such as injuries caused by carpal tunnel syndrome

No, it's just a blood test.

Type 1 diabetes occurs when your immune system, the body's system for fighting infection, attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas.

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and a progressive decline in pancreatic β cell insulin production. There is no autoimmune-mediated pancreatic β cell damage and most patients with type 2 diabetes do not need insulin during the initial stages of the disease.

Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin is produced, but is not used properly: a given amount of insulin does not produce the expected result. In people who are obese it may be that the chronic inflammation associated with obesity affects the function of the insulin receptors on the cells in the liver, muscles, etc., decreases the number of insulin receptors, affects insulin signaling pathways, or inactivates insulin receptors (Allende-Vigo, 2010; Olatunbosun, 2011).

The progressive decline in pancreatic β cell function is due to decreased β cell mass caused by apoptosis (Butler, Janson, Bonner-Weir, Ritzel, Rizza, Butler, 2003); this may be a consequence of aging, genetic susceptibility, and insulin resistance itself (Unger, Parkin, 2010). The etiology of type 2 diabetes is complex and involved genetic and lifestyle factors.

Genetic factors: There are susceptibility genes that definitely play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes, but their contribution appears to be small. The effect of the known, common gene variants in creating a pre-disposition to type 2 diabetes is approximately 5%-10% (McCarthy, 2010), so unlike some inherited diseases, being homozygous for these susceptibility genes does not typically result in a case of type 2 diabetes unless certain environmental (in this case lifestyle) factors are present.

Lifestyle factors/demographics: Obesity is definitely a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes (Li, Zhao, Luan, et al, 2011), and the greater the degree of obesity, the higher the risk (Nguyen, Nguyen, Lane, Wang, 2011). Excess adipose tissue is typically in a state of chronic inflammation, and this inflammation is thought to cause insulin resistance in the adipose tissue and in other organs (Gutierrez, Puglisi, Hasty, 2009). Other factors that increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes are the presence of the metabolic syndrome (Eckel, 2008), age, and a sedentary lifestyle. Type 2 diabetes is much more common in African-Americans than other ethnic groups. There may be a genetic explanation for this, but socio-economic factors are probably to blame (Link, McKinlay, 2009).

Start with TSH

When uncontrolled for many years it can increase risk of coronary artery disease

Not all hormones cause headaches. You need a formal evaluation to be able to answer your question.

I recommend following a low carb diet.

Yes they can. She needs to get tested to diagnose it

Yes. Kids mainly get type 1 but also there is an early onset type 2 sometimes.

There are different pumps that you could use. I cannot provide names online for copyright purposes. I would recommend you see a diabetic educator to learn about the new pumps and sensors

Featured snippet from the web:
The “rule of 15” is commonly used as a guideline for treatment: After checking your blood glucose level with your meter and seeing that your level is under 70 mg/dl, consume 15 grams of carbohydrate, wait about 15 minutes, then recheck your blood glucose level.

I recommend to check TSH level and TPO antibodies. Symptoms may include constipation, cold intolerance, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, weight gain and other non specific symptoms

Low Diet, exercise and check with your physician regarding medication option

Removal of your thyroid gland.

Hashimoto Hypothyroidism yes

Human growth hormone (hGH) is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It's important for growth, cell regeneration, and cell reproduction. HGH helps to maintain, build, and repair healthy tissue in the brain and other organs
It is contraindicated with patient who have history of brain cancer

Type 1 insulin. Type 2 po meds or po meds plus insulin if advanced

Not really if you sugar is under control
