Hello my name is Fernanda and my son has just debuted with 600 glucose thanks to God he did not have ketoacidosis but he spent several days in theTomorrow and 2 IUPRO Insulina Before each food but it lowered him a lot, then they changed to 8 UI Glargina in the morning and 1 IU of Lispro before each meal he makes 3 meals a day, he continued to go down and reduced him to 6UI of Glargina in the morning and 1 of Lispro before each meal but still goes down it is maintained between 69 and 130. For the night is when it goes down the most and when exercising or physical activity could be that they are wrong in the diagnosis??

@fer2843, if they found him in 600 glucose analytics, they cannot be wrong, but he is reacting very well to insulin and can enter the "honeymoon", a period in which the pancreas reacts and can even stopGet insulin, although it is not usually left at all.
That honeymoon can last months, but then you have to increase doses when they need it.
You have to study how insulin and meals affect him, little by little you will dominate him.Children immediately adapt and treatments are improving to make their lives easier.The day will come when an automatic pump will control everything.
Much encouragement, that a controlled diabetes will not prevent anything in life, and less starting now.
Of course, you have to have peace of mind and a lot of patience.

@Fer2843, with fast insulin and glucose sensor, some whim can be given.
According to the controls you can see how foods affect you.
