Hi all,
My 6 year old daughter was diagnosed late Feb with type 1. The diabetic team have said she is in the 'honeymoon' period and at the moment is constantly having hypos after breakfast and sometimes before bed. Her units are 1 per 30g for breakfast and 1 per 25g for evening meal with Novarapid. She is on 3 units of levemir for bed and the diabetic team have said that if she's less than a 7.0 before bed give her a snack. She then hits a 10 and is having a hypo some mornings at 5.30. I am wondering why i am giving her a snack before bed if she is not hungry. If i was to send her to bed on any number, the diabetic team say she would only drop 2mmls with the 3 units, so why is she dropping in excess of 6mmls and how would i get out of giving her the snack?
Sorry for the ramble but any advice would be amazing
