My ten year old son had good diabetes control for six years. Now, I have to give him more Humalog and NPH, but his nighttime control is inconsistent. Is the increase in Humalog normal? Why are his morning blood sugars so high? Could this be a sign of adolescence?

My two year old is having high blood sugars six weeks after diagnosis. Could his honeymoon be over? His blood sugars are not “normalized.” Is this common? Could you explain the Somogyi effect and insulin resistance? Is it really safe for him to use Lantus since it is not FDA approved for those under six?
