Hi guys,
My son is now 11 & roughly weighs around 45 kg. He has had type one diabetes for over five years.
He is having issues with regards to when he is having hypos, previously he use to have jelly sweets however this has stopped working for him. Glucotabs use to be a excellent hypo treatment however this is not working as good as it use as he is still saying low after having the glucotabs and a biscuit more often now. Not sure if anyone has had the same issues or if anyone could recommend any other hypo treatment they use apart frm fizzy drinks.
Also he will be starting secondary school in September and we are thinking of what snacks would be best for him to have during break time, preferably looking for just suggestions with regards to snacks that he can have relatively quickly in between classes or breaks.
Any help all suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
