Dear friend follow a ketogenic diet.Follow the suggestions of Mr anup.Read the book by Breinstein.He is the master of ketogenic diet.There is no substitute for insulin.But insulin pump is available ,it is very costly.Reduce carb to the minimum say 50 grams per day from all sources.Substitute it with good fat and protein.Do some light exercise.Do not leave hope.Develop management to manage diabetes.Wish you all the best.Thanks.
