| Claysmum, While NPH is still used, it is an isulin that is very hard to predict. I agree if it was working for you, then it would be fine to stick with it. I was on NPH for 16 years and Regular. These insulins have peaks that are very complicated when you are trying to figure out meal times and injection times, this is complicated more my your son's activity level and growth.
Lantus, or insulin pumps with short acting insulins have helped alleviate these issues. Lantus is a long acting insulin with no peaks. The pump gives you small doses of short acting insulin during a 24 hour period. You should be able to have good blood sugar all day long without eating a meal if you have your pump set up correctly.
While NPH is still prescribed, there are different insulins and programs that are much easier to figure out. I would talk to your doctor about options. |
