[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2360926, member: 101136"] Hi, I don't feel the cycle should be laid squarely with your mum. The information from HCPs i overheard given to mine was, "oh, if he's going low here. Give him more carbs. Low at night. Snack before bed." There was never any mention of adjusting insulin. There were only so many sandwiches I can eat.. "Do you need something to eat?" Seemed to be the answer to "everything." As I became an independent adult & moved out. On visits to my mum (like you do.) she wouldn't let me leave the house without "something." It's also part of an inherrent caring nature as a parent too. Of course I carry hypo stuff, but It would take 15 minutes (seemed like it.) talking her down from the breadbin. It's what she was told back in the early days. Old habits die hard. These days she has Alzthiemers. It still sticks. [/QUOTE]
