The Lilly pen does not seem to be as accurate or recommend function checks. Should I buy lispro 1.5 cartridges and put it into my old NovoPen 1.5?

My 12 year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes four weeks ago. All in all, he seems to be getting along quite well. I have heard him state that “his life is over”, “ruined” and “he should just die”. Some of this is normal, but how soon should I seek counseling?

We started to withdraw the U from the vials before the H (instead of the other way around as we always have) and this seems to have helped minimize the clogging. Is drawing up the insulins in this order safe?

I am 15 and have had type 1 diabetes since I was six months old. I am taking Regular and NPH, both at breakfast and at dinner. My blood sugar level seems to be higher when I wake up in the morning. Is there some way I can adjust my insulin intake to help lower my blood sugar level?

My nine year old daughter has been having seizure-like episodes for the past three years. Diabetes runs in both my family and my husband’s. We checked her blood sugar with a home device after a seizure. What is normal for a child? If she had diabetes, could that make her have the seizures?

Would nutrition bars such as Glucerna and Extend be helpful in maintaining her blood sugar level or will they tend to cause it to be high in the morning if she eats a bar as a bedtime snack?

Two months ago, we found out our five year old son is allergic to sugar. Should we be concerned with juvenile diabetes?
