My son is on novorapid and Lantus, the novorapid is with every meal on a ratio of 1:10 and lantus is at bedtime.I also inject after eating, but what I have noticed is he might have milk at say 8.30am, refuse toast or cereal, then Ill inject him, and say a hour or so later he'll want toast, and some fruit, and then I end up worrying that this will go into lunch, around midday and so he ends up with having alot of insulin floating around in his system causing hypos. However since yesterday, I have started doing a food diary which I read a few other parents on here did, and actually this has helped and I have managed to ensure he doesnt get Hi or too low. Also I am looking into non carb or low carb snacks I think this will help alot, I will try your suggestions, or even keeping his carb under 10 grams without insulin as a snack.What would you give if your children were abit low around bedtime, say around 4.6 and you would want to boost it to 8. I gave my little one 6g of carbohydrates in terms of strawberries ( hes addicted to fruit btw), I wouldve liked to give milk but he refused, and after eating the fruit he wanted milk typical kids hey, so I gave a very,very small amount which satisfied him, but then he woke with a sugar of 11.8 which to be honest I thought he may do. Any pointers I could use would be great ..</blockquote>
