[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 169796, member: 13077"] My son is on basal/bolus so is on 5 injections a day. We've never used a mixed insulin but I believe you have to be quite regimented in the amount of carbs per meal and the times of the meal. I know one other person using a mixed insulin and he and his Mum are in the hospital at the moment because of DKA. Is it not possible to use some extra short acting insulin at the same time as the mix if there are regular times that require extra insulin? The person I know is not given any short acting insulin to make corrections because of extra food or illness?? Someone must know if this is an option. What do you do when your child is sick or eats extra treats? [/QUOTE]
