[QUOTE="leggott, post: 127056, member: 20065"] Hi, It is difficult to say how much insulin is required to bring him down to a reasonable level as each child is different and as he is in the honeymoon period he will probably need a lot less than another child of his age. 1 unit brings my little boy down by around 7mmol but 1 unit only reduces my daughter by around 5mmol. It is going to be a bit of trial & error to start with . You may need to due a couple of test through the night to check if you have got the correction does ok. I would probably air on the side of caution for now, but keep a record of what his bg is and what dose you give. This will help you work out exactly how much he needs next time. With regard to carb ratios, again these will differ from person to person and sometimes differ at each meal time. I would probably start at 1 unit to 20 grams of carb and adjust from there. leggott [/QUOTE]
