 The Humalog 25 is a premixed insulin, just like the Mixtard 30.  It just contains a bit less rapid insulin and a bit more longer-acting (NPH) than Mixtard 30.  Regardless, premixed insulins are major trouble for most kids.  They limit carb intake and schedule flexibility, and often lead to both highs and lows.  I would recommend doing whatever it takes to get off of the premixed insulin altogether:  either lantus once daily with novorapid at mealtimes, or (since you said that she cannot give her own shots) an insulin pump.

You can ask your neighbor what he uses to keep his lawn so green, or ask a friend for her famous zucchini bread recipe... But who do you ask those day-to-day questions about life with diabetes? Your medical team is the place to start, but we've gathered a few other experts here to help you out as well. Check out the latest questions parents are asking, and pose your own, too!
