[QUOTE="db89, post: 1835658, member: 374526"] If skipping a meal causes a hypo it's likely caused by long acting (background/basal) insulin being wrong. It sounds like your son is on MDI which is designed to give you the flexibility to eat as and when you like. Aside from small movements within a few mmol/L long acting insulin should keep you steady (excluding other factors - exercise etc.). The fast acting (bolus) insulin he takes for breakfast and other meals should only deal with that food over the course of a few hours as it digests and that's it. That said, you said your son is fairly newly diagnosed so there may be more at play such as the honeymoon period which can cause unexpected lows. It's also subject to the doses being given being right for your son and this can be like a moving target with honeymoon. Maybe try the breakfast skipping on a weekend at your own pace to see how it works with your son? [/QUOTE]
