Hi all,
I'm really puzzled by my 12 year old. Diagnosed type 1 in Dec 09. His insulin has been reduced again and again until they said stop it all together, as it could be Honeymoon.
Tonight we ate out and he had a choc dessert and his bg went up to 23 so i gave him 3 units of Novorapid. 45 mins later his Bg was 2.2. He felt really ill, he paniked and ate 5 jelly babies, small can coke, and 6 marshmallows! it went back up to 6 then 13. He is now eating toast as he is convinced it will drop again overnight.
My question is, why does Bg drop so low? The Novorapid should drop bg by 2 or 3 points per unit, i think. This keeps happening. Its like his body completely over reacts to the insulin.
Does this make any sense to anyone? I was told Friday that his cpeptide was 596 and have yet to work out exactly what that means. Possibly its not type 1?????????????????
very confused!
