[QUOTE="Ellie's mum, post: 1235780, member: 276676"] Today is Ellie's 6 month review with her consultant at the hospital. Really not sure how this appointment is going to go as her bloods have not been behaving themselves recently. Unexplainable random highs that lead to correction doses or dramatic drops in blood levels (hyper to hypo in less than 2 hours with no corrections in between!) We've been in very regular contact with her DN who, as always, has been amazing suggesting ways to adjust ratios etc. Yesterday things were worse than ever. Everything was fine all morning and afternoon but when we got to tea time she was at a 10! Counted the carbs as usual, followed the insulin advice on her machine, which also suggested a correction. Checked 2 hours later and she's a 13.8! Nothing different in what she ate/drank etc. Decided to wait a little before correcting and check again an hour later. This showed up a 15.0! Another correction dose was given followed by constant blood/ketone checks through to midnight. Midnight came and so did another hyper of 15.5! Correction dose given and more testing. At 3.20am she had eventually come down to an 11.5. Not really low enough but low enough for me to be able to sleep but I forgot to turn the alarms off and was up again at 5.30am [emoji30] Bloods before breakfast were 7.7, I have a feeling today is going to be a very long day [emoji99][emoji99][emoji99][emoji99] [/QUOTE]
