Good advice from the others posters so far. To help get the balance right, most people are told to try to get the Basal (Lantus) right as far as possible by aiming for around 6mmol blood sugar at waking. Don't let my guidance override anything you have been told by your health team who know best for young children. The Bolus (Novorapid) is adjusted for the carb level expected at mealtimes. Many of us inject into the stomach, but if this becomes a problem do discuss other site options with the health team such as thigh and buttocks. At least with modern insulin pens things are a lot easier than for our parents generation with large syringes.</p></blockquote><p></p>
