How much of insulin will my child receive and does more insulin mean the deterioration of the disease?

Insulin is a hormone which is produced and secreted in all people. In the child who just was diagnosed with diabetes insulin is secreted in small quantities, and stops when are destroyed all the remaining pancreatic beta-cells. Therefore, the total daily insulin dose in relation to body weight are less at the beginning of the disease or in remission phase, after, the need for insulin is growing and total daily dose becomes larger, which is important in puberty. Insulin dose is adjusted individually for each child depending on the measured levels of blood glucose and the amount of glucose in the urine, physical activity and diet. The need for higher dose does not mean that the disease worsened.
