If you are diagnosed as Type 1 diabetic,you have no choice but to be under the advise of a good diabetologist.

There must be error in your diagnosis. Type 1 can not stop insulin.

Even if you are underweight why do you want to gain weight? People struggle to lose weight.

I want to gain weight, due to underweight my muscles got weak. I had hernia surgery due to muscle weakness last six months before. My height is 163 but my weight is 52. I have low HDL only 22 and my LDL is high.

With this carb loaded diet you will never be in control of your BS levels. Rice, dosas, idlis, bakery products, processed food items should be completely avoided. Restrict roti/chapati to 1 per meal. Carbs have to be replaced with quality protein and fat. So that you don't decrease your total calorie intake.

Did the doctor explained to you the basis on which diagnosis of type 1 was made ? What was that ? When on insulin your blood glucose was controlled, as you say. Then what made you change the effective treatment! As Indiacratus rightly says A Puzzle.
