If type 1 then yes. If type 2 then probably not - just correct the diet.
Problem with type 1 is that the immune system kills the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. There's currently no known way to fix that. (Not public, anyway.) With type 2 the pancreas produces plenty of insulin but the cells are resistant to it. So cut out all refined carbohydrates.
He has type 2, been using insulin for over 30 years now, he's 80 and at a healthy weight only because he eats very little of the wrong things. He will not listen, I have tried.
