[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 121024, member: 13077"] Yep - not fun with sick kids even without the bsl's to contend. I can't be too heavy handed with the insulin pen for fear of a hypo with a sleepy, uncooperative child whose not eating and not heavy enough and the levels shoot through the roof. Diabetes can be a very frustrating thing at times. As long as I can avoid DKA I just accept that levels are going to be high for a few days. I don't find it makes any difference to his overall control and surely kids without diabetes run higher bsl's when sick - just nobody has to do anything about it. I find the repeated illnesses over Winter have an impact on a1c but as Khaleb gets older I really hope he doesn't get as many. [/QUOTE]
