[QUOTE="CaitlinGibbons, post: 230823, member: 32323"] Hi, Just thought I'd update in case anyone is still watching this thread... we have increased Syvlie's glargine to 4 units a night, the consultant thinks she could probably go to 5. This has reduced the highs in the morning, from mid 20's to mid teens. Before doing this though I ran her sugars high for a couple of weeks by taking her lunchtime dose down and making sure she was definitely taking in enough carbs (particularly at nursery). This has helped her hypo-awareness and she has complained of feeling funny when she drops to around 4. Her Hbac has gone up slightly to 8 (from 7.3) but I think that's OK as we can ease it down over the next month or so. The consultant agreed that the highs in the morning were probably due to the glargine being too low, and the hypos in the afternoon a combination of a yo-yo'ing effect with the highs, which was then compounded on nursery days by a change in the menu and Sylvie not really eating enough. We are checking her in the night at the moment, which we haven't done before but luckily she doesn't wake up when we do this. All I have to do now is talk to my not-so-helpful GP who keeps cutting my prescription for test strips - she obviously doesn't have a child with type 1..........! [/QUOTE]
