Nope dont send her is my vote for what it is worth .phoneladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941892184117571313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-10816962307932598152010-10-19T14:01:43.382-07:002010-10-19T14:01:43.382-07:00Yes, the site definitely changes your numbers!

I have no clue about the other stuff. :)LindsayBeteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03640771096331205946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-61470328834303235512010-10-19T13:49:59.964-07:002010-10-19T13:49:59.964-07:00I don't know if it's different with childr...I don't know if it's different with children than it is with adults - but when I was on MDIs my endo told me that the abdomen has the best absorption rate. He said legs were second best and arms didn't have very good absorption.

I intentionally used that site when she was high because I knew the insulin would "kick in" faster there.<br /><br />As for sending your daughter... I think I'd keep her home. Her immune system is dealing with enough already, and your stress level is going to keep climbing if you're worried about looking for HFM symptoms on top of the crazy blood sugars. BUT... I certainly wouldn't fault you if you decide to send her, either. You know what's best for your family!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586345335424142815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-91807670044485481202010-10-19T09:17:01.697-07:002010-10-19T09:17:01.697-07:00I'm not sure if I'm too late on giving my ...I'm not sure if I'm too late on giving my opinion for this post but YES just like Meri I have heard that different site areas absorb differently. <br /><br />Also I'm not sure about sending her, Hand and foot can get pretty ugly but on the other hand she is going to be exposed to sooooo many germs (not to freak you out) when do you draw the line. Also I believe (not sure) but I believe that hand and foot has an incubation period just like chicken pox but I'm not sure. Good luck with your decision!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233907890324278905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-54823079705591582912010-10-18T19:30:10.350-07:002010-10-18T19:30:10.350-07:00I wouldn't send her!

It is VERY contagious and I think I would wait and make sure it isn't circulating around the class before I would feel ok about sending her in.<br /><br />I don't have anything helpful to say about the site..we always used Addison's butt and every once in a while a leg..very rarely the belly since he has no fat there. I don't recall noticing a big difference though when we used a site other than the butt.<br /><br />Good luck!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578777299563079924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-50089865515647048862010-10-18T19:20:26.729-07:002010-10-18T19:20:26.729-07:00The fat in the site area changes EVERYTHING.

I would make sure to give her a butt shot on the days she goes to school.<br /><br />My boys had HFM. It wasn't great...but it wasn't that awful either. I'm sure everyone is affected differently. Sending her? That is a tough one. I'm going to go with my prayer answer. :) Is that a cop out, or is it genius?Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-41783840415019573222010-10-18T19:08:33.821-07:002010-10-18T19:08:33.821-07:00How long does that gunk take to show up??

I know they have "procedures" in place... but you never know.<br /><br />See what the incubation period is on it. And go from there.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192247387107228743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-61659688863995921132010-10-18T18:50:54.899-07:002010-10-18T18:50:54.899-07:00My 2cents....Don't send her!

It is honestly one of the worst things I've ever been through just because the mouth blisters are so painful. And it's incredibly contagious! I wouldn't risk it.<br /><br />As for the crazy numbers....once the HFM disease has run its course, then I think it would be okay to send Elise, as long as they have procedures in place and will call you whenever there's a question. The routine of school might actually help even her numbers out and calm them down.<br /><br />Whatever you do, good luck!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515030663618274693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-40219947183245205352010-10-18T17:19:36.493-07:002010-10-18T17:19:36.493-07:00With a tiny baby at home, I would be hesitant to s...With a tiny baby at home, I would be hesitant to send her knowing about the hand foot and mouth. It is so highly contagious and is contagious before the blisters appear that someone else might be carrying it and not know. <br /><br />When Bekah was on MDI, we were told that insulin absorbs slower below the waist than above. We almost always did arms for meals and thighs for Lantus. We would also use her thigh for pizza and it seemed to be more effective. I hope that helps!<br /><br />Good luck with this big step! You are doing great!!Heidi =)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03050944024956869185noreply@blogger.com
