My Daughter was diagnosed on 26/8/09 aged 6 1/2.
She has been on two daily injections and is currently on 6 novorapid/12 insulatard before breakfast and 3 novorapid/5 insulatard before tea. I obviously have to increase/decrease insulin when required and occasionally I have to give her an additional injection during the day if she is high.
We have got used to working around her injection times but I am finding it very difficult at the moment to keep her levels normal.
I am visiting the clinic in November and want to ask about multiple injections.
I have read that it involves "carb" counting which sounds daunting and am I correct in saying that you are not so restricted to eating at a certain time?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
