Do some people really get a BG rise after diet pop? That's bizarre! OHs main fluid is diet coke lol, while its not really healthy it doesn't affect his BG This seems like causation to me too

How awful for you! Is he giving himself injections? Do you oversee him? I'm also wondering if he's taking more insulin than you know about.

We've had it a couple of times with home cooked meals, I buy 20% fat mince and when I've made bolognaise or cottage pie it's been a problem, also with some restaurant kids meals. Just wondered if there was a percentage you look for or its just trial and error

Update: DSN suggested upping breakfast to help with the big spikes and have a mandatory mid morning snack, hopefully this will improve things!

How does everyone determine what high fat is?

Oh yes it's just good to have suggestions of other possibilities, I'm still very new to this after all!

If anything the DSN will suggest it goes up because she's still too high at 2hrs, I thought it was just taking too long for her to absorb the insulin though and didn't want to be chasing it with a snack IYKWIM? I thought if it was her own insulin it wouldn't happen predictably, learn something...

I wouldn't have thought it would happen every day if it was her own insulin? It's a bit of a weird one because looking at the 1 and 2 hour numbers it seems she needs more insulin but then she hypo before the next meal

Thanks, I think her morning ratio is too high as all week I've had to give snack for hypo, today is perfect example

The thing is at 17mo it's going to move her a lot more than 2-3mmol, 5g she would maybe get away with but not 15g!

Unless she's more active she shouldn't need the snack to prevent a hypo is that right?

DDs dietitian told us that she can have a snack up to 15g between meals, how does she not need insulin for this? It makes no sense, if her ratio in the morning is 0.7 and she has 15g that's a unit of insulin surely? If I give her a snack like that without insulin obviously she's going to hyper...

Just wanted to add I saw you asked about the numbers and what is dangerous but haven't seen an answer from anyone, you're aiming for between 4mmol and 8.5mmol, 1.5mmol is very low

Highs make my OH and DD grumpy gits too [emoji23]

Flu symptoms are listed as side effects from the jab. Hope you feel better soon!

My DD was diagnosed the end of July and all I can say is it gets easier! It's a major ordeal at first and you feel like you won't be able to do normal things with her but you learn it all really quickly and soon it becomes almost second nature for the most part. Being on here is a massive help...

That's interesting thank you I will try this too! Do you know the reason why?

Good to know, I will have to keep an eye on it! Hopefully delaying should help :)

I see butter as an unlimited food :)

With respect your reply is very close minded as you know nothing of our family or our situation. Just because lots of people like pumps doesn't mean everyone will. It would be unfortunate for our daughter if she was suffering, which she is not, which is why we have her consultants approval to...
