Hello,
Just a quick question, I seemed to have lost control of my son's ratios and am struggling in what to tweak in the way of bolus or basal.
He is high at night so we have increased his basal from 5.5 to 7. He has it once at night and since we have increased it his levels have dropped from 16's - 20's to 8's - 12's during the night.
But he has hypos pretty much after each meal (2-3 hrs after) and so we have decreased his meal time ratios. But it's getting a little silly, his breakfast ratio was 1:10 but now 1:20, other ratios similar in their changes. And he's still having hypos every time he eats!!!
It's bizarre, it's almost like he's running on basal alone. The logical thing with all the hypos would seem to decrease the basal, but when we do that he then spends all night high.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks.
