[QUOTE="nicolaryan09, post: 834128, member: 176383"] He doesnt always go to bed at 17 but sometimes wheetabix knocks him up that high. We have had the odd mornin hes woke up 3.9 or 3.8 before breakfast. This morning he had ready brek and 0.5 and he was 3.9 at school by 11am. I dont think i will give him have that anymore for breaky when hes going to school because it just doesnt keep him going. He had some before bed last night and woke up 4.3 this morning so we may keep it as a supper or weekend breakfast. Ryan only checks his blood sugar before dinner aslong as he feels ok. If he feels tired (this is the only way he says he feels when hes low) they will check him. Or..if they notice hes gone a bit pale and quiet they check him. Today the teacher noticed he didnt seem right so checked him and she was correct, he was low. 9 times out of 10 they notice hes low...he doesnt say. The odd time they have checked him and hes been in the 4's but i would rather them check if they are unsure and if hes not low...atleast they know. Rather then them not checking at all. Wow...she went to bed on 13 and woke up on 9? So is that her lantus that will need adjusting? Especially if she is waking on 11. Ohhhh...iv just re read ur message i see what ur saying. I suppose the lower she can go to bed and stay there the better. If shes 9 before bed for example and wakes 9 or a tiny bit lower thats brilliant. Because then u dont have to knock her up before bed incase she dips. Then her Lantus could be left as it is. Do you not have the number for her doctor? Our doc is on call 24/7 and incase she isnt we have the number for the other doctors. I rang her quite late one night i felt awful but she said it was fine. Our nurses dont work the weekend either. It is defo typical stuff like that happens when they are off. Im worried about the fact we have to knock Ryan so high on a night time. Last night he ws 4.4 before supper.
