Our insulin doses for my 4 year old son when he was first diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes were
4 units of Levemir (long lasting) insulin over first week
And up to 4 units of Novo Rapid (quick acting) with meals when we were dealing with extreme hunger of his
Once we got settled, his insulin demand dropped and he was on
2 units of long lasting insulin first thing in the morning,
No quick release (novo rapid) insulin with breakfast,
1.5 units of insulin at lunch time and
2 units of insulin with extra large evening meal (1.5 units for regular meal).
After being diagnosed with T1D 3 months ago, we have now moved on insulin pump & his insulin/carb ratio is 1unit of insulin for every 80 grams of carbs eaten.
