Alternative Therapies for Type 1 Diabetes?

I’ve had type 1 (insulin dependent) Diabetes for almost 10 years and I was wondering if any one had information on alternative therapies. I understand they are doing Islet of Langerhans Transplants in UK, but does anyone have any personal stories or good site to explore the alternatives.

What cold medicines can my father on blood pressure medicines with glaucoma take?

My father is 79 and takes blood pressure medicine so he can’t take any of the regular over the counter cold medicines. Because of glaucoma he can’t take Coricidin which is the usual alternative for people in his situation. Is there any medication, over the counter or by prescription, that he could take for coughing and congestion? I worry that on about the third night of not being able to sleep he’ll just not care and take one of the regular cold medicines and suffer a stroke or whatever adverse effects there are.
