[QUOTE="Emmadixon, post: 907416, member: 197086"] The issue is diabetes isn't a predictable condition and iv realised it affects people differently, some of the things we have noticed are when its hot weather George's blood sugars go sky high as he's a toddler and doesn't drink extra fluids like we would want him too,George responds to well to exercise so A good example is the other day we went for a walk he was 7.1 Setting off so in Range but 50 mins later was having a severe hypo at 2.3. And that was just sauntering iv known him to be hyper at 14.6 before we've gone swimming at 40mins of paddling has dropped him to 2 and just as we think theres a pattern it can all be turned upside down again you constantly find yourself scrutinising everything finding something to blame for the inconsistency when Infact it's just the condition. I struggled with the amount if factors that can affect it which are out of our control like the weather, illness, exercise and other people. We are now at at point where we are more within range than out of but it's take. Months to get here and I know it will change again in a matter of weeks, sadly for your sister it gets hard before it gets manageable. The carb counting once you get the hang of it is quote interesting but equally frustrating as most things that are good for them are the things they don't want to eat lol x [/QUOTE]
