Good News! Jonny's reading was 9.6 this morning ,so I feel we have made good progress thanks to your advice. I know most of you will still think this is high but yesterday's reading in the morning was double this. A massive thankyou to you all.

All your advice is really appreciated. We could of gone for months not knowing where we were going wrong. I am up early this morning waiting for Jonny to wake up so I can measure him! I will be back on line later to let you know what his reading was. I am delighted to have found this forum, it...

This advice is so helpful I can't thank you enough.Hospital said he did not need snacks with Novorapid.He is definately having supper tonight. Just been on Amazon to buy "think like a pancreas". I have just started the carb counting. Previous guidance from doctor/dietician was lots of carbs with...

Thanks tinkerbelly. I was advised to give Jonny cheese tonight before bed. Would a 10g carb snack be better? We eat bread with oats and seeds in one slice = 16g carbs. So 3/4 of a slice of bread would be O.K?

Thanks Sarah.The information on this forum is fantastic.

Sorry if I have misunderstood. I thought you were asking for a snack after a hypo,something to have after the lucozade. My son snacks on pepparami sticks, celery sticks or cubes of cheese.

Thanks.He has only been on lantus for two days! Should his BS be around 5 before we inject the lantus? Does Lantus maintain whatever your blood sugar reading is or can it lower it.We have only changed from Novomix30 to Novorapid and Lantus to give us more control but I don't feel we are...

My son always has individual cereal bars with him.Find them in the cereal isle or biscuit isle of any supermarket.

Thanks Sarah. Could the lantus run out when he is injecting it at 9:30pm (his bedtime)? Testing all through the night is not practical for us as Jonny is twelve and going to school with no sleep isn't going to do him any good.However only four weeks of school left so we could do this during the...

Thanks Timo your comments are much appreciated. I will try Jonny with some cheese before bed tonight and up his lantus by 2 units.

Thankyou Fergus for your thread on carbs. I have only recently discovered this forum and we are now following your advice on a low carb diet.

Thankyou for your advice. I am giving Jonny 4 units of Novorapid before each meal plus 20 lantus just before bed.He always wakes up in the night if he is feeling low so I don't think he is having a hypo during the night. I have changed his diet in the last few days: Breakfast - no more cereal...

We have just changed my son's insulin routine. He was on Novomix 30 and his last HBA1c was high.On Wednesday we decided to start on 3 injections of Novorapid and one evening injection of Lantus. Control in the day is fine.He has gone to bed the last two nights at 5.1 and 7.2. The next morning...

Please can someone confirm the ratio of Novomix 30 for me please. I know it is probably obvious but if I give my son aged twelve 30 units of Novomix 30 does this equate to 9 units of fast acting insulin and 21 units of long acting insulin ? Does this mean he requires 300g total of carbohydrate...
