Hi all, my 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with type1 diabetes three years ago and she has been on the pump for the last year and a half....for the last two years her basal or background insulin moved from 4 units to 5 to 7.9 until a couple of weeks ago...over the last two weeks her sugar levels have been all over the place....and her basal insulin requirements have been increased to more than a 100% to 16.5 units... we are still trying to keep thesugar levels in control at times...our doc said it is probably a growth spurt but I'm extremely anxious to check whether this level of increase or dosage is normal for a 10 year old????...any advice or light you can throw on this will be deeplyappreciated....from a sleeplessparent!
