[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2396881, member: 451727"] Hi there, that 'spike' of 9/10 for ten minutes is NOT a spike, it really isn't. Even a non diabetic can hit that number and the fact it is for ten minutes only means that it cannot be counted as a 'long term damage inducing' issue. I know it's hard but if your son is having to regularly eat snacks in between means he is eating to the insulin and not the other way round. I get that sometimes to do it that way is an option but it could lead to more instability and weight gain. Although they say a snack of under 15 carbs should be covered by basal everybody is different, it could be that the accumulative effect of those snacks are also contributing to everything else. You are clearly a great parent and you are helping him adjust in absolutely the right way, trial and flipping error. The honeymoon period definitely can keep ebbing & flowing, I'm still in mine 3 years later. x [/QUOTE]
