I do not have diabetes
Hi, just after some advice please. My son, who is 3, was diagnosed with T1 diabetes 3 months ago. His BS was 4.4 before going bed this evening, I gave him 1.5 units of Levemir plus a mini choc egg and piece of toast. Do you think this was enough carbs to prevent night time hypo? Any advice please x
 
If your unsure wake the boy up and tests his bg levels in a couple of hours.
 
It would depend on what you normally give your son and the normal amount of insulin and whether he normally gors lower during the night or is level or rises...

Very difficult to advise you whether he may go low... You will have to keep checking if you have doubts..

best advise tbh

Chocolate takes longer to get into the blood stream so he may have a blood rise
