Simple, they were too scared to change.

All the kids at our clinic (I'll say used to) start on mix. This girl was diagnosed 6 months before Carol. Her dad has diabetes too and is still on mixes. I've been trying to persuade her mum for a few months to change her onto MDI before I gave up. And her hubby too, but she wasn't having any of it. Her hubby works shift too.

And I know of another mum who only just changed her teen daughter onto MDI. But I think this girl did the same as Carol for a while - mix in the morning, rapid at dinner and levemir at bedtime.
