My 7-year-old has just been diagnosed. She is in the honeymoon phase and her blood glucose levels are staying between 80-150, but when I give her the insulin her blood glucose drops to 38-68. What should I do when she is not high enough to actually need her shots?

My daughter, who is 10, was diagnosed two months ago. She started off on 6 NPH and 2 Regular twice a day and now is down to 1/4 unit of Regular every 2-4 days. Even with 1/4 unit she bottoms out to 20-22. The doctors we have seen have no advice and tell us drop all insulin for now.

I believe my 14 year old daughter is now over her “honeymoon” phase. Recently when she takes her fast acting insulin, and then checks two hours later, it is as if she hasn’t even taken any insulin, even though we increased her Lantus and NovoLog in the last couple of days. Do you think she is becoming insulin resistant or are we just experiencing the end of the honeymoon?
