Hi, my son dx in July 2010, he is 4 yrs old and has an older sister, age 7. We started off on twice daily insulatard and are now on Humulin m3 in the morning and humulin s at tea time with carb counting and adjusting for that teatime dose (just started this a week ago).
Re carb counting - so far so good apart from a potential scary thing with some baked beans! He went hypo from 15 b4 tea (lucky he was) down to 3.3 an hour later 😱 ! Next time I shall only carb count half the value as they are a very slow burn carb (he woke up next morning at 16 - very slow burn!). Bit annoyed tbh that the dietician didnt warn us about this, presume pasta dishes will have the same effect - will treat with caution!
