I think you may got confused a little bit.1:12 is probably a ratio which means you give 1 unit for 12g of carbs. Maybe I'm wrong?? 12 mmol seems a bit high. I mean 1 unit bringing down by 12 mmol? Are you in UK? Even if it was in mg it wouldn't sound right

Adjusting basal is the first step to get everything under control. From here you can work on ratios which will change now. Its all balancing act, so if you reduce basal you will probably need increase boluses. Does your daughter take one basal injection or two per day? if two, maybe she needs...

Go for green vegetables: broccoli, kale, any salads, celery sticks, green beans, courgettes

I think taking Chromium helps. Heard about cinnamon but not sure if its very effective

I know its easy to say but don't stress too much :) He will be with other people around and when he comes back home you can check on him when he sleeps

Whole pizza maybe too much but a slice or two should be enough. He should have some glucose tablets (or sweets) in his pocket and test few time during the evening. Telling a friend as @Cassandra13 advised is a very good idea. He should have some solid, fatty meal before going out but a bit...

Thyroid can be an issue as Tim said. Also, is your lifestyle a bit different now, over Chrismtas period? I'm on school holidays now, and Ive noticed that I need much more insulin. Today I struggled to bring my levels below 8 whole day. 20 minutes exercise with youtube solved the problem:) Not...

3.7 is a hypo. The symptoms differs from person to person. Sometimes I feel alright when I'm 2.7 and can feel horrible hypo when 3.5. I think it depends how quickly it drops.

Its all like nothing :) It would be about 5g cocoa which is 0.7g plus cream which would be 5ml = 0.07g! Drink as much as you like as long you use sweetener not sugar :)

How much cocoa, milk and cream did you put in it? Did you put unsweetened cocoa or hot chocolate powder?

Yes be careful. Maybe a bit drunk instead of very drunk:) Remember to check your levels thought out the evening, eat fatty meal before party and eat something carby before bed without taking insulin (even I you wont feel like this, just force yourself) Packet of crisps, or toast with lots of...

Not easy to have a perfect sister. I have two of them!:) Do not compare yourself to her and try to set your own goals. We are all different and we cope with things differently. Having type 1 is not easy and we all struggle from time to time. Its extremely mentally tiring as we need to deal with...

I have made this chocolate pudding. It was really nice. http://www.diabeticgoodbaking.com/2015/11/chia-seed-chocolate-pudding.html

Hope youre feeling better soon. Not a nice feeling when hitting that high. Give it some time to come down, drink a LOT of water and test for ketones if still staying high

I think emergency only when you have ketons. When its high from wrong insulin dose, take correction and see how it goes

Don't worry too much. The more experience you get the easier it becomes. Just test now and top up with coke if needed

Of course we are but when someone is new to insulin, it can be tricky. Whole dose in one go for a pizza is definitely not a good idea.
