So Zara settled in great today at nursery in so pleased she had a happy few hours there x
Her numbers are dropping pretty quickly today she has been 7/8/5 so she is really dropping and also she dropped off 25g of food and 0.5 unit at lunch it's making thing if she gets any lower pre lunch she might be about to drop her lunchtime insulin which makes me ask you the question ... Ryan just has 2 doses of nova morning and lunch is that right? No dinner rapid acting? At what point did the nurse decide this I presume it was after hypos at night? Will be keeping in contact with my nurse of course but just curious? X
Hiya, sorry for not replying sooner i cant tell you how tired i am. My eyes were dropping trying to reply last night haha
No Ryan has 3 Novo a day. Breakfast, dinner and tea. Its with his supper they said i would have to give him 0.5 with if we dropped his levemir which i dont feel comfortable with. He has breakfast 7.30am - dinner 11.45am and hes ate tea and had his shot around 4pm - 4.30pm. So when i check him before supper i know there isnt much novo left if that makes sense. 0.5 with supper would drop him without a doubt durin the night. At one point they thought we would have to drop his breakfast shot because at school he was 2.9 before dinner or there abouts for a full week. Even with snacks. But thats slightly better now. He has 0.5 with breakfast dinner and tea, unless he has a very big carby tea and he has 1 unit.
Im really pleased she has had a good day at nursery. Some normality back for her and you. And that her bloods are coming down.
I didnt realise that Lantus was 24hr and Levemir wasnt. Maybe thats why Ryan is on Levemir..? Who knows ha its something i will ask at clinic.
At the carb counting class yesterday one of the nurses was trying to help us figure out how to stop knocking Ryan high at night and she believes he is producing his own insulin still quite a bit. She doesnt even think he would of been diagnosed yet if we hadnt had the equipment at home and watched for the signs. It meant our carb counting class wasnt very successful i came away feeling really deflated xxx
