Hi Cassidy
It appears
actrapid lasts for upto 8 hours which is why it should last her through the school day.
Regarding the hair loss here's a few links to have a read of

You have 2 options really. Wait and see if her new routine, insulin, diet etc has some effect and improves the hair loss issue or take her to the GP and see what they recommend for the hair loss and what tests they can do to determine the cause, as hair loss can occur for many reasons. This time in her life being stressful could easily be a contributing factor to the hair loss. Having the thyroid checked could be a start as this can be linked to diabetes and hair loss.

Sometimes hair loss is a symptom of uncontrolled diabetes. Give yourself a chance to adjust to your new routine of insulin, diet and exercise and see if the condition doesn't improve.
Stress can certainly cause it, too, and new diabetics -- or those who undergo a treatment change -- often feel pretty stressed about it all.
Wish I had more info to offer than "wait & see." Do check with your endocrinologist since thyroid issues can be an underlying cause, too. Many of us diabetics also have thyroid issues.
