[QUOTE="iHs, post: 197423, member: 8799"] Hello vickiec If your son had 42u of biphasic Novomix before bed, then it's no wonder that he went into a fairly bad hypo and started fitting. Biphasic insulins do need to be spaced apart and used before breakfast and then again before evening meal. I know you said that he didn't have the tea time dose because of concert etc but what would have been much better was for him to have had a reduced dose of Novo before bed and not the full tea time dose. That's what I would have done and just get up in the middle of the night to test bg levels. Biphasic insulins are nothing like bolus. They have a fairly long duration of action. I hope your son is coping with diabetes a bit better now that he is using twice daily (biphasic) insulin although it has its own rules that your son will need to abide by in order to be well.
