Summary

Study of blood sugars in the children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), who are given insulin detemir and a rapid acting insulin (aspart). It is hypothesized that there is no difference in the patterns of blood sugars when detemir is given in the same syringe or in separate syringes with rapid acting insulin.
