No, people who have type 1 Diabetes (like me myself) do not produce insulin. Yet their may still produce insulin but too little to be enough to not take it. As you get more experienced with diabetes your doctor may tell you that your body still produces insulin but not enough to take it alone with no help( this is the HONEYMOON Stage). You have to take it by syringe, shot, or by a pump. People who have type 2 diabetes, their pancreas still produce insulin but maybe their bodies do not absorb it too well.

Insulin is required to convert glucose in the blood into energy. Therefore, type 1 diabetics must take regular injections of insulin to control their blood sugar level.
