Question:

From Web TV:

My 14 year old son has high blood sugars after school. His blood sugar levels are 250 to 400. He won't take his lunchtime Humalog shot.

Answer:

My guess is that this young man does not want to risk embarrassment at school. Many kids are reluctant to be "different" from their peers, especially at age 14! I would speak to your son's endocrinologist about revamping his insulin regime so that lunchtime shots are eliminated. The physicians I have worked with attempt to avoid shots at school altogether.
