Mom of a newly diagnosed 7 -year -old girl

Hello

My 7 -year -old daughter was diagnosed three months ago, when I was still 6 and the truth is that I have many unsolved doubts and I just discovered this forum.

At the moment we are on the honeymoon, 1.5 U of intermediate insulin is applied twice a day and there are still days when hypoglycemia presents but the endocrinologist recommended not to suspend insulin, just lower the dose more.

I would like to know how we are going to realize that this stage is over, will one day have the very high values ​​or will it be gradual?Also more or less how long hard and is it normal for sometimes to dawn very high?Between 150 and 200, it is in these cases that I have applied more insulin and at 10 am it already has 50 to 60 hypos.

I thank you in advance for your answers and finally I tell you that she exercises daily, some days gymnastics and other soccer, so I do not know if the insulin bomb can work in the long term.In addition to that we are in Mexico and here we have all inputs because they are not covered by Social Security.

@deyanirals, welcome to this forum that will "guide you" in this life of diabetes !!And here you will find tips or opinions of parents, about the doubts that arise in the beginning :;Do not despair and have a lot of encouragement, that diabetes is for the brave and ........... your little one is a great fighter of life !!!!!(And you too!) Sweet kisses of an Argentina in Europe:-*

If you have high values ​​when you wake up, you will have to increase the slow dose.You can adjust better with half unit.
The glucose climb is gradual, and will continue to rise while the growth lasts.
If the values ​​begin to be high after meals, it will begin to need fast insulin in meals.
Normally a basal (slow) insulin and a quick insulin are used to metabolize hydrates.
Little by little .., the best help for settings is the glucometer.
Welcome to the forum!

Hello how are you?What does your doctor tell you?My daughter did not have a honeymoon, 9 months ago she has diabetes and her era always prefers this discharge, although my daughter is super strict and does not like to be high, her diabetology prefers this between 140/180.Manuela gets along very wellWith her dra and trusts her a lot. And at this time she has learned the balance between sport - food - insulin. Sports days is less basal insulin than one day of less activity. Safe from Uruguay.

The objective must be a glycosylated below 7, avoiding hypoglycemia.

Thank you very much for your answers.

This type 1 diabetes is a separate world, I am surprised at the amount of misinformation that doctors have, in fact I did not know their existence until my daughter was diagnosed.

The doctor tells us that it is preferableBelieve or not because I have searched for information I have not found anything about it and I worry that a week ago I had hypos in school twice, at 10 am and shortly before 1 PM.At the moment I cannot consult another endocrinologist because I live in a place that is almost a small town and the specialist only comes once a month, we would have to move to another city, but for the moment it is complicated by the school and for all the expenses thatThey have been generated in the diabetes root.

If you have hypos, lower the dose of one in a unit, or on average, but do not retire at all because you will have to rise again.

Thanks Regina, that same told us the doctor, only that we are already in a unit and sometimes on average, in fact a week and a half ago we were very late and went to school without injected insulin and at noonHe presented a hiccup, which seemed quite strange.

What insulin do you use?

Use a call Novolin N is intermediate and the DRA says that it is also called NPH.At first it did not work because it had hiccups and then it was up to 300 so almost for a month I used the insulin glargina that at first kept it well but after a month of going down the doses we were already in a unit and she withHypos, started again with intermediate in early March and we have been going down and climbing the doses to how it has been necessary

@deyanirals My son began as yours with minimal insulin doses and now we are with other different types of insulin.He started using Insulation and putting anything else 1 unit in the morning and another at night and thus had a honeymoon about a year and a half.Little by little, glucose levels began to increase and their endocrine already prescribes another type of insulins that are now used.As in full adolescence their values ​​sometimes shoot without knowing very well because, and sometimes we also have x files, without apparent reason your glucose is dumbed and we continue learning to deal with them.
Thanks to this forum we learn a lot and we are accompanied

Again thanks to everyone, I have many doubts but I think I will open another topic in the correct category, it is wonderful to contact people who know what it is to go through this, since most people do not understand.
