It might prove to be problematic. I assume you use tablets for pain relief, and I trust they are homeopathic strength. There are other remedies that may be more suited to T1D use, but there is nothing inherent in using exogenous insulin that may cause additional complications but evidence is lacking in this respect. It may interfer with anticoagulant medications.

I suggest you contact a well-qualified homeopath. They'll know any possibilities much better than lay persons. Good luck and I hope you can continue taking your remedy.

There is a section in here about safety and interactions:

Thank you all! It would be for cosmetic uses so would arnica cream be a better alternative?

I am really puzzled as to the purpose ‘ for cosmetic uses’, @ToniiMariia . Can you explain, please?
I have uses arnica cream for myself, and children to help heal bruising, but not for anything else.

I am going to be having filler for my birthday and will need to use it for bruising and swelling if the tablets aren't recommended would the cream be a better alternative?

 

[Oldvatr]

Cream would be safer. Topical application of arnica can be either tincture or cream. There is a warning of possible dermatitis being caused and also allergic reactions when handling this product.

By filler do you mean in the face and or lip area? The cream would be at higher strength than the pills, and could be a toxin hazard But I am not sure the pills would work anyway on bruising. The pills are anticoagulant, so would actually make the bruising worse?

I'm not medically trained, and don't know if it would be ok for you to use, or what other medications you are on, but I use both the tablets and cream with no side effects.
