I also had my basils and boluses set in the hospital, just remember, while
there you are pretty inactive, so once you get out and start living your
life, getting exercise, going about your daily routine, your basals might in
fact be too high! They set them when you are just laying in bed, then when
you get exercise and move around, the requirement goes down, so keep an eye
out for that. I had several bad lows till we got it all adjusted after
leaving the hospital.
Just watch her closely, you can’t take too many BG readings at first, and
you’ll get it all down. Happy 2000!

Actually, the Insulin does sting some people at times. It occasionally
stings for me, and from a discussion on another list, there are quite a few
folks that find it sometimes stings.

Oh, to be so young! How long has Alisha been D? I’ve been D for 11 years.
I’m 29. Does Alisha have anyone to talk to, besides her care givers? I mean
others that have diabetes? I know that helped me a lot, just to know that
others were going through the same trials as me.
And, what is a cde?

Hi,
My name is Tracy, and I just got on a pump this past July. I do seem to
remember
the saline burning a bit when I first started. Also, sometimes the insulin
injection site burns a little. I’m guessing it’s from the IV prep getting under
the skin a bit? But, when I gave myself injections, sometimes those burned also!
Also how old is your daughter? When my nurse was training me she showed me a
different site to put the canula/injection in, my hip! Perhaps you could use
this
site for your daughter? (By the way, my nurse is also diabetic, and on the
insulin pump.)
Good luck!
Tracy
