I have a 4.2 year old son who has been Type 1 since 26 months old. Lately he has voiced his displeasure at having his insulin shots: he gets very upset and we fight and it is hard for me. Is there anything that I might try to make it a little more pleasant?

I am in my 38th week of pregnancy and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 29 weeks. For the last week my 1 hour after meal numbers have been quite a bit lower, ranging from 98 to 112. Does this have something to do with placental hormones towards the end of pregnancy?

My daughter, 7 years old, was diagnosed with diabetes 4 months ago. She is currently on a 3 injection/day program. She is the only one out of 4 diabetics at her school that receives a pre-lunch injection. I am curious as to why more doctors do not recommend the 3 injections/day?
