Hi
We are currently away on our first holiday abroad with our 11 year old diabetic child. I am having problems trying to lower my daughters blood sugar readings, they are between 10 and 17 throughout the day and first thing in morning. I have altered her lantus by 1 unit but it is still high so i am going to up it again tonight. i am testing her bloods two hours after every meal and they are still high so i am giving her more insulin. Should i just keep lowering her carb ratio? I have checked for ketones and they are fine and she isn't feeling un well. I thought bloods would drop on holiday with all the swimming not go up. I'm getting a little worried now. We are carb counting all the food withn the help of the carbs and cal book to as near as we can get it. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
