[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 640191, member: 22572"] Hi again I wonder whether the weakness if she misses brunch has something to do that she is on insulin. Insulin will make her go too low if she has insufficient carbs. As mentioned by the previous poster you will need to balance insulin doses with carb intake. Not being on insulin myself I can not advise much but I am sure there are plenty of others here that can do so if you provide us with some more info. What kind of insulin regime is she on ie what kind of insulin does she take, what doses and at what times? Can you post a typical day's actual - food taken at each meal - timing and doses of insulin taken - blood glucose levels, on waking up, before each meal, two hours after each meal, before going to bed. In fact it is probably a good idea to keep a diary of the above information for a number of days to try to identify any patterns in glucose levels. Again well done on taking things at hand Best of luck Pavlos [/QUOTE]
