    Help - worried about sudden low blood glucose

    A late thank you to you all for your replies. We reduced her dose of levemir further and in the end the diabetes nurse cut it down by half again and that has made all the difference in the mornings!

    Mum of a newly diagnosed Type 1 Toddler

    Thanks Robinredbreast, Really appreciate you taking time to reply. We're doing better this week - you're right, it's the little people who find it easier than we do lots of the time - she's already trying to do her own blood checks and injecting her teddies with pencil-insulin injections! We...

    Mum of a newly diagnosed Type 1 Toddler
