My son was diagnosed with type 1 just after his 6th birthday about 7 months ago. Do you have any information on publications giving exact recommendations on adjusting insulin dosages based on blood sugar fluctuation patterns?

Our 14 year old daughter has controlled her diabetes with multiple injections of R and NPH. A new Pediatric Endocrinologist put her on Ultralente and Humalog. Her blood glucose levels have been swinging wildly from daytime highs to nighttime lows.

Our doctor proposed to switch insulin for our daughter, who is 4 years old. Now she uses Mixtard 40/60 in the morning and Humalog in the evening. The doctor likes her to switch both injections to Humalog Mix25. Are there experiences with using this insulin for young children?

My daughter is 15 years old. She was diagnosed with diabetes four years ago. She has been having unexplained highs. Could it really be that she needs to take more insulin to cover what she eats?

How does my doctor determine how much insulin I need to take? She looks at this card with the time the different insulins take to work and then tells me to take, like 24 units in the morning? How does she arrive at the number 24?

I’m 22 years old and have been self-administering insulin for bodybuilding purposes. I went into hypoglycemia 4 times within 2 weeks. On the second occurrence, my hand went kind of numb. The 4th occurrence yielded an even greater numbness. Is this atherosclerosis or nerve damage?

What are the effects of taking too much insulin? And if one did, what is the best way to rid it?

I am currently taking 120 units of Mixtard 30 in the morning and again before dinner. Is this considered a lot? My GP seems to think so but he cannot get an answer from the Diabetic Clinic here.

What is the difference between Humulin NPH and NPH Iletin I?

I’m a 42 year old black male with type 2 diabetes. I’m currently using a 70/30 insulin premix. Is there a formula (i.e., a sliding scale) to calculate the units of insulin required to counteract a given blood glucose level when blood glucose is checked periodically?
