[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2101470, member: 503481"] I think the mixed dose insulins will mostly likely be twice daily. Taking into account with the way he is eating as well. Which will still be an issue if he is running high now and he will be running high on twice daily or not bother to take it. Mixed insulins seem to work for those who have a routine of 3 meals a day and nothing else because it doesn't have that flexibility. If OP can find a way to get more support for his son's mental health, a different approach and attitude towards diabetes might make his management a tad easier. But of course it is a difficult balancing act, if diabetes control is bad, your mental health will be affected and the continuous dark thoughts will thrive on it. But I agree OP's son's diabetes team need to offer more solutions to help but I fear he can have all the help offered to him but still be stubborn and reject it. As some of us have said he has to help himself in order for other people to help him. [/QUOTE]
