[QUOTE="Katharine, post: 92538, member: 7958"] Hi, I have read all the post and can see that you really want to sort things out for your daughter. My suggestions: Lantus is less stable than levemir. It deteriorates quite fast when it is exposed to light and heat so can vary in its effects when from when you start and finish a vial. levemir is more stable. Both lantus and levemir need to be injected twice a day as NEITHER give 24 hour coverage in most people. It is a matter of choice which you use but fling out any unsused Lantus after three weeks and sooner if it has been in a hot car. Your daughter's diet is pretty high in fast acting carbs. I agree with the advice you have been given by lionrampant. Take every ingested carb into consideration. The B-DEC course is great for carb counting tuition and has the advantage of being free and online. It's advice about insulin use is still rather basic and you will get more info on the course at [url=http://www.dsolve.com]www.dsolve.com[/url]. It sounds like the honeymoon has come to an end and the pubertal growth spurt has come early for your daughter. The peak age for insulin resistance is 14 in girls so you will have a long time of it. Whatever everyone else's carb/insulin ratios are is no good here. You have to work out what your daughter needs and this can vary significantly depending on the time of day. Breakfast tend to need more insulin for the amount of carb compared to other meals. Lunch time tends to need the least amount of insulin for any given amount of carb. It is a job that requires a lot of experimentation and persistence but getting the sugars under control is really worth it long term. Katharine. [/QUOTE]
