[QUOTE="stoney, post: 188262, member: 22612"] Hi Dot I know what you mean by problems with puberty. My Son has just gone 14 and around Christmas time he was experiencing high Bg's. He had his HbA1c done in January and it was up to 8. I don't know what insulin/regime your son is on but James' DSN suggested that since he was on only 2 injections per day he may now need to go on the MDI and carb counting (basal/bolus regime) which would be more flexible. We started this on the 12th February and waiting to see what his HbA1c will be on his next clinic appointment in May. He is now experiencing lows after lunch so the DSN suggested changing his ratio to 1:10 for breakfast, 1:15 for lunch and back to 1:10 for tea. Supper does not get counted and his Lantus before bed is 15 units. Don't know if this has helped you in any way but there are some very informative people on this forum who will be able to help you, they certainly have helped me :) [/QUOTE]
