[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2513942, member: 68789"] Hi Matt, Congratulations! May your son be happy and healthy, and the apple of his parents’ eyes. Our daughters were born so long ago now (they’re in their 40s now) that I can’t remember any tips to get through the blur of tiredness and the astonishment that someone so small can be the source is so much love and so much disruption. I do, though, remember quite a few days when getting dressed just wasn’t a priority. Blood sugars were tough, too, but this was back in the diabetes Stone Age. I notice that you say you inject Lantus once a day. Some people split it to smooth out the profile and find this helps. Two doses, twelve hours apart; for some the night/day doses differ. If you look at the insulin profile charts you’ll see they all differ [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/2017-10/University%2520Hospitals%2520of%2520Leicester%2520-%2520Insulin%2520Profiles.pdf[/URL] And yes, lack of sleep can cause total blood sugar havoc. Jelly babies and correction is all I can recommend. Once again, Congratulations!!! [/QUOTE]
