[QUOTE="Wooly123, post: 2354828, member: 536221"] Welcome [emoji4] I was 7 years old when I was diagnosed and it is a bit of rollercoaster at first, and I’ll have to admit still is at times but I am better equipped to deal with it now than I ever have been. I was on novorapid for a long time and never had any issues with it, changed over to Humalog a few years ago as was noticing large spikes after meals and doctor seemed to think it was worth a try. To me novorapid and Humalog are so similar there’s no point in me changing back. Like your little one, I seem to need double the amount of insulin for breakfast than any other time of day. If spikes are happening after breakfast it could be a good idea to inject a bit earlier at breakfast times so give it a bit of a head start. I do this sometimes if I have a high reading before a meal time. You mention carb counting. Have you got the DAFNE app at all? I sometimes use the Carbohydrates section to give me an idea how many carbs something has. I don’t have the Libre yet so the diary part is quite useful to record stuff, although it’s perhaps not the best layout. [/QUOTE]
