How do you know when lantus units needs to go up? Because my daughter is high all day and hypo in the morning? So I'm not sure. We recently brought up her lantus but she is still high throughout the day.

Hi everyone, I have a daughter who is type 1 diabetic and she is 23 months old. She was diagnosed six months ago so I'm not sure if her honeymoon is coming to a end. She is become increasingly high all day even when she doesn't eat anything with carbs in between meals with the exception upon...

My baby daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 5 months ago and I have noticed her sugar levels are up and down most of the time now and this week I have noticed she is needing more corrections even on the lowest ratio she has ever been on? Can anyone tell me is this a sign of her honeymoon...

Hello everyone, my baby daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in August 2017 at 17 months. Since she was diagnosed she's been getting skin infections that I treat with skin antibiotic prescribed by the doctor. She hasn't had a new skin absess for about 2 months. Has anyone experienced...

He normally gets 2/3 hypos a week but last few weeks it's been a bit more often.

I always treat her hypos during the day with fruit puree as I test her often. But my diabetics team tell me not to test too often which is hard to do as she is very active.

My daughter never wakes up during night from hypos. It's more during day when she is very active and sometimes upon awakening because she sleeps for over 12 hours.

I bought the book already. Lantus I already know is more of a stabilizer when the body is fasting and doesn't go to high when glucose is secreted from the liver but I I've been told it stabilises hypos......not sure about that with my experiences with my little one.

Hi donnellydogs, I get 300 strips a month that was changed from 150. I test her 4 hours after her last meal and give her 7 gram free carb if low or if she is under 6mmol and correct if high over 14mmol.

Is lantus mainly a stabilizer at night or day too? Is is just to prevent hyper?

As she is so active around the house she can become low. I put her ratio up to decrease insulin but it's still happening.....this has only started happening in the last few weeks......its so draining having to keep being aware of hypos in such a young person.

Hello kittycat, yes she was drinking lots in the summer, at first we just thought she was thirsty because it was hot but then the never-ending wet nappies starting for 2 weeks and a horrible nappy rash started that wouldn't go with nappy rash cream-that then alerted us to go to go to get her...

Yes she is on lantus and novorapid. So do i treat the hypo? because I keep getting told by my diabetics to team to only test at meal times and not in between but sometimes I check her regularly in between because she can't tell me how she feels and I see she is low but seems fine within herself...

Hello everyone! I have a daughter who is newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 21 months old. Does anyone know when the diabetic still has active insulin in their body and u test them and they are under 4mmol is that accurate or should it be treated as a real hypo?
