Hi Ruth, It's quite a coincidence that you came up with this as I've been reading up on insulin resistance .....now that you've brought this up, this whole thing started after her school activity trip for a week....from the time she got back her her sugars have gone haywire...on one side it was...

Thanks Ruth !!!

Hi Tanya, Thank you so much for that input!!!...forums and people like you make it easier for us to live with condition. Last night was not too good....but yesterday was much better so we are slowly getting there,,,,I will get in touch with her DSN and lets see how things go :)

Hi newton, Thanks for the kind words and inputs!...I think being a diabetic child is really tough...God knows that I've eaten sweeties to last two lifetimes and itz unfair that children as young as 2-3 even have to have restrictions ...and am sure the thought that it should have come to us the...

Thanks for that!!! It's good to hear reassuring words from people with experience!

Hi, Thanks for inputs. I'll definitely try and keep the dinner early. Last night, temp basal rate seemed to work and kept her bg at a decent level....Also she's had a good day with a few hypos ( which suddenly feels like a good thing after all the hypers )...As for her TDD...earlier before...

Hi Azure, I can definitely give it a try. Thanks !!

Hi Azure, Most of the time , her bedtime is between 6-10 ...for example ....yesterday at dinner time , 8 pm, she was hypo...2.3...so she had her fast carbs and then followed by her meal...then around bedtime , which was 10pm she was 9.2.......at 11 she was 12.4...I gave correction and at 1 am...

Forgot to say thanks for responding...will definitely check with doc again about the high basal!!

Hi Ruth, Your Basal rate is less than my daughter's is it???...oh dear!! That is worrying because her levels are on a rollercoaster more in the evening/ night and we are all at home ...so there is no way she can sneak anything. I'm trying out different things...blocks of different basal rates...

Thanks a lot!!!...we are doing just that now...hopefully it will all make sense and we can settle down with the changes.

Thanks Azure! I didn't think about the site being less effective...it is definitely worth a shot.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the response!...your suggestion sounds good...in fact I was reading about having different basal rate blocks for combating the wild swings...I will definitely check with the doc!!!...thanks again...it's reassuring to hear from you all!

Thank you Natalie, Shew and Carbs rok! Knowing your personal experiences, Shew in particular, has thrown some light on our situation. We were expecting a gradual increase in her basal dose due to the various factors but the sudden change to more than a100% seemed like it happened overnight. In...

Hi Paul, Thank you for responding!! I hope you are right and it is all down to puberty. My concern is her weight which is about 27kgs does not match to the average safe dosage ( about 9 units).....As you mentioned, I am hoping to hear from another parent or self who can share their personal...

Hi all, my 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with type1 diabetes three years ago and she has been on the pump for the last year and a half....for the last two years her basal or background insulin moved from 4 units to 5 to 7.9 until a couple of weeks ago...over the last two weeks her sugar...

@Topher and Buckley, Thanks for the assurance....have decided to follow your advice for all further trips :) Thanks everyone for the support and valuable insights from personal experiences...I had a bit of a trouble managing her levels during travel and for a few days there after but now...
