[QUOTE="suzi, post: 91815, member: 11767"] Andrews Consultatant told me that the reasoning on 2 or 4 injections was a matter of concern for him. He said he prefered the old way of 2 injections at first and getting children onto 4 after either 3yrs post diagnosis, when he though they where mature enough to handle 4 injections, or for gaining better control of bs. Unfortunatley he said it now longer worked like that, he hinted at powers above him(probably pen pushers and pharmacotiacal companys) most children were being put onto a regime of 4 at diagnosis. 4 to begin with is a lot to deal with. Its hard enough coming to terms with it and all the imformation without having to carb count as well. Andrew went on 4 a day last November mainly because after his original insulin being taken off the market and trying 5 other we were advised that the Lantus and Humalog regime would work. Well each night i had to bribe Andrew to use the Lantus, he said it stung like hell (it has a higher PH than other insulins) obviously he was sensative to it. He had stomach cramps, mood swings, just wasn't himself. So they changed him to Levemir and were finally getting there. Andrew started '09 with flu (even though he had the flu jab) he didn't return to school after christmas till 23rd jan, was at school a day and they told me he wasn't fit enough, so it was Feb before he went back. Not the best start to the year and he caught everything that was going til end of April, his immune system was so low. Thankfully hes healthy now and has finally settled on Levemir.
