Hi,
My son was diagnosed with Type 1 about a month ago. We are getting to grips with things now but his BG in the morning is always on the low side. He currently takes one dose of Levemir at night which is 6 units and Novarapid during the day. His morning BG is usually around 4. Does this levemir dose seem okay for a 10 year old, weighs 32kg?
Also does the novarapid say in the morning have a knock on effect on levels for the rest of the day?
I will speak to his nurse again, she has already indicated if his dose was lowered any more it would need to be split.
Thanks.
