[QUOTE="azure, post: 1423131, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=390513]@Rach85[/USER] :) How long after breakfast does she have the hypo? How long after her evening meal does she have the hypo before bed? Eating a bedtime snack is wise to avoid a nighttime hypo. The snack before bed is nothing to do with whether she's hungry or not. It's just to keep her blood sugar ok overnight. How could you get out of giving her a snack? Well, you could look into insulin pumps. They allow you to fine tune basal making a snack less necessary, and reducing the risks of a hypo overnight. How old is your daughter? There are other parents of Type 1s here and plenty of adult Type 1s wh can give you support :) It's still very early days and it sounds like you've made a good start :) [/QUOTE]
