Thank you for replies. @Rokaab: his carb ratio is also low 1:5 -1:15. It is a bit unusual. @kitedoc: our doc is surprised and never seen that in career...:( I just hope it is growth reaction.

Hi to all. Maybe the question is weird but what is the abnormal insulin requirement for a toddler (14 MO) ? My son takes 25 IU per day and around 10 IU is basal insulin (has CGM with Insulin Pump). He is 14 months old, around 10 kg, 75 cm. We find it more than average for his age (like 10 IU...

@novorapidboi26 we are close to the numbers, I guess this is not the issue. actually the basal distribution is wrong. btw there is no fasting-tests for infants, some say that first when the kid is at least 6 yo you can do them, for younger its the trial method. @catapillar I am not sure if you...

@Juicyj : I realized that my sons Basal/Bolus ratio was 30/70, and here I read that should be 50/50. We had high BGs like for more than 5-6 weeks . Our doc changed the basal by 20-30% and meal factors but seems inefficient. I read some guidelines here on forum, and decided to set this up on my...

Hi @Juicyj: I want to work out a proper basal delivery for my son (8 MO), fasting is out of reach, so only "assumption" and "try-and-see" rule can be applied. For this purpose I need some good starting point, i.e. typical BG curves. And please no comments like "check with your doc" since that...

@helensaramay its for the sweetend-blood people, aka Diabetics. It is actually blood sugar profile that is produced in the human body / liver. This link / profile is for something else. But thanx.

Does anyone know if there are some good figures/curves/screenshots/pictures of the most common/typical blood sugar profiles? That is, how does the human glucose production varies during the day. I need that to estimate some basal insulin profiles. Thanks in advance!

So the carbs are always sucked into the organism, no matter what? I thought if we would eat more fats, due to the prolonged digestion it would reach the end station, then all the materials containing carbs would "leave" the body without any impact on the BS, but I guess one cannot trick the...

@Crocodile : then does that mean it is always better to add some fats and to prolong the effect? If the impact is lower but still there, the one should have enough time to "prepare" and inject bolus like prolonged (i.e. 4 hrs). The benefit would be to have lower blood sugar but the struggle for...

@urbanracer, @helensaramay : what I was thinking what if someone eats enough fats, then the fats prolong carbs intake into the bloodstream, and if it would be possible that it prolongs so much that material with carbs simply naturally "leaves" the body until the fats are absorbed, then it might...

Might be a funny question, but just like the title: How long do carbohydrates stay in the body gut, I mean how long until they are digested (normally without any fats or proteins) ? Thanx!

Fingers crossed ! Last year MiniMed 740G, now this. I hope that before getting the real Diabetes cure, hopefully 2019 :), they make the D-lives easier with these gadgets.

I just hope they will make it last longer and without immunosuppression drugs... Fingers crossed!

He is almost 7 months. Eats everything, as suggested by the pediatricians/nutritionist. The problem occurs after wheat-based porridges, some fruits (apple, peach) and potatoes ! When we talk about reducing ketones , it is actually reducing the BG level?

@Ledzeptt actually what @Celsus says is really true. I could not believe that; I have always hoped that extra activity would lower BG but it just does not :((( Actually it made my sons condition even worse. My son has a pump but sometimes if we do a correction then it just really does not work...

I hate diabetes, all kinds, but Type 1 extremely !

Hi people, I have one stupid question: if the blood sugar is more than 15 for like 3-4 Hrs should one go to the hospital or try to "correct" it at home? Sometimes correction takes time, it does not work immediately and/or sometimes the cannula has to be changed. When is the turning point when...

The thing is my son is 6 MO and sometimes after the meal BG rises rapidly to 250-300 and then stays like that 30 Minutes - 1 Hr (sometimes longer) and then drops toward 200-220 (then we do correction and becomes ok shortly after). But sometimes we notice different behavior, he cries or seems...

Hello lads and gents, I was wondering how high and for how long BG has to be to get headache?

Hi to all. My son is 6 months old and he has MiniMed 640g and uses CGM, this helps a lot. So my son is eating avocado for the dinner and drinks some baby-milk 100-150ml (7.3 g CH). Afterward the BG remains almost the same for the next few hours and then starts to sink. The BG values are almost...
