Daily Care

1. Is it necessary to use short acting insulin or can my daughter take the one evening injection of Lantus if this is creating normal daytime sugar levels? She was diagnosed three months ago. (4 Nov 2009)
2. Diagnosed six months ago, our toddler's blood sugars continue to vary from one extreme to the other daily. We worry about the effects on his body. Do you have any advice? (23 Oct 2009)
3. My two-year-old has been put on a 1200 calorie diet, including one egg daily. How will this affect her cholesterol? Her blood sugars are still elevated. What do you advise? (18 Oct 2009)
4. Two years after diagnosis, it now takes our daughter longer to come down from a high and up from a low. Why would this be happening? How can we increase her reaction times? (12 Oct 2009)
5. I take R and NPH. Sometimes I am low. Are there any long term effects of this? When I'm high, is there a way to speed up the action of my insulin? (28 Sep 2009)
6. I am a school nurse and have an incoming kindergartner on a pump. An LVN will be at the school when I am not there. What kind of nursing assistance should this student have? (31 Aug 2009)
7. My teen daughter has been struggling with her A1c. She doesn't want to work to lower it, assuming it will lead to weight gain. How can we convince her she needs to work on lowering it? (29 Jul 2009)
8. On two recent occasions, my son has taken "vacation days" from diabetes, skipping insulin on those days. How should I deal with this? (23 Jul 2009)

10. My son has been doing well taking NovoLog, but the doctor wants him to switch to Humalog because it is faster acting. Is there a downside to Humalog? (20 Jul 2009)
11. Is it possible for the honeymoon to last for "years?" If we keep our son on a lower carbohydrate diet, thus requiring less insulin, might this prolong the honeymoon? (22 Jun 2009)
12. When the temperature is consistently over 75 degrees F., I have to reduce my medications drastically because I suffer many low blood sugars. Why does this happen? (18 Jun 2009)
13. Diagnosed six months ago, my 13-year-old takes Levemir twice a day. His last A1c was 6.3. Would this be a good time for him to go on an insulin pump? (6 Jun 2009)
14. I ran out of Lantus and the pharmacy was out of it. In the meantime, I am giving my daughter NovoLog every two hours. Is there anything else I can do or should do? (28 May 2009)
