[QUOTE="annettekp, post: 164329, member: 25242"] Hi Sophie's advice is spot on. My son is 2 and we were told not to worry about ketones unless they were above 1 and then get medical advice. There will be some ketones present first thing in morning and that's normal. We use the optium monitor all the time. Getting your daughters levels between 10- 15 at 5 weeks in, is good so don't beat yourself up. It took us 6 weeks to get them down to that level and that was with constant support from the dsn and upping insulin. Even now we struggle to keep then within the 5-10 range we were advised to - that's why we're waiting for a pump. Its now 10 months since Erland was diagnosed and yesterday his levels were 11.4, 17.2, 6.8,12.4, 9.9, 14, 5.6 and 17. It is not easy with a little one. Keep on at your DSN for advice, that is why they are there and they do have a duty of care. Have you got the book by Ragnar Hanas -Type 1 Diabetes in children, adolescents and young adults. Its a good one. Don;t get disheartened you're doing a good job. Annette [/QUOTE]
