My 4 year old son has had Type�1 diabetes since he was 21 months old. We frequently have to give a second shot about 3 hours after a high fat meal to bring his blood sugar into acceptable range. Can you offer an alternative injection strategy for dealing with fatty foods? How about a mixed shot of Regular insulin and Humalog?

My son was diagnosed 2 months ago. He is 7 years old. His blood sugar readings have been sporadic and it doesn’t seem as if we can get control. He takes 8-9 units of 70/30 with breakfast and 3 units of the same insulin with dinner. Do you have any suggestions?

My 6.5 year old takes 2 injections a day of Regular, Lente and Ultralente. The shots are given at 6:45 A.M. and 5:35 P.M. Her night time snack is at 8 P.M. At approximately 9 P.M., she sometimes feels low and is. Why would this be happening: there is no insulin peaking at that time?

My six year old daughter has been diabetic since the age of two. I seem to remember that there is a certain number of carbs that it covered by a unit of insulin. I have searched through my own information as well as that on the web and can’t seem to find the ratio anywhere.
