[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 221023, member: 13077"] Hi there and welcome. My son also has no thyroid function and has been taking thyroxin for 2 years. As your daughter is newly diagnosed she is probably quite used to high blood sugars so when she drops to 4.5 she would feel quite hypo. She should adjust if you can keep her a little higher and more comfortable for a few more weeks. If your daughter has just started thyroid meds it can also make them prone to hypo but it does settle. Diabetes is very relentless but as time rolls on it does just seem to fit in with life in general. After 4 years I don't have that dread and panic feeling like the early days. Eating and drinking like normal should be good enough. I find my son needs less insulin in Summer as we are more active and I often find he can be hypo after a hot bath sometimes. Lots of parents here to help you out or vent to - visit the Youth Section. Anyway, hang in there. Jen. [/QUOTE]
