[QUOTE="azure, post: 1016446, member: 39639"] [USER=245202]@Tj1[/USER] Yes, it's wise to get his sugars down gradually. Could it be Christmas making him less co-operative? It's a miserable time to be diagnosed, especially if you're a child. If you aim for management not perfection over these early days, you may not get so stressed. Remember his body will be adjusting too. Are you keeping detailed notes about his tests and insulin and food? That will help his team make adjustments as they'll see exactly what's going on. You didn't mention if you carb count. That's a key thing ultimately for good control. But at the moment I imagine his team are just goung to see how he goes on his current insulin doses. If you know the reason for the hypo (lack of bedtime snack?) that should help a lot as you know it didn't just come out of nowhere. Keep calm and don't let diabetes be the focus for your son (even though it'll be at the very front of your mind). Let him see that you're not panicking (even if you are!) and that it's not the end of the world. It can be controlled :) [/QUOTE]
