Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is able to advise on what to do with my daughter's morning highs after breakfast or even just after a few mouthfuls.
She has a perfect night remaining around a 5.0 - 6.0mmol/l and wakes up anytime between 6.30 - 9am on the same perfect reading and it doesn't matter whether 6.30am or 9am, her bloods start to rise the minute her feet hit the floor. They then spike to 18 after breakfast she hypos an hour later on her current ratio(1:10). Prior to this she was on 1:12 and was taking until 12.15 lunch time (after breakfast at ten to 8) to come back down. The rest of the day she is fine. She's on mdi, and 4 units of levimir before bed. Any more levimir makes her hypo in the evening/early hours.
I have tried reading about the liver dump on waking (different to dawn phenomenon I believe?) but I am unable to find anything that really informs me how to stop it. The only other thing I can even consider is a carb free breafast.
From how fast she has dropped I know her morning ratio is not right, but otherwise she's just staying high. My daughter is 8 and has been diagnosed for nearly 2 years. Thanks in advance!
