[QUOTE="Rach85, post: 1424410, member: 390513"] Hi, Thank you all for your advice. My daughter is 6 and has been given the ratio of 1 to 30g units for breakfast, having a hypo 2/3 hours later. She is then given a snack after 75ml lucozade to treat the hypo. Spoke to he diabetic team and they have said to adjust to 1-32g which i don't believe is going to make a blind bit of difference, as that's pretty much what she's been having anyway. She physically can't eat what they are telling me to feed her. The last few mornings i had changed her to half of the dose (so 1 unit to 60g) to check out what happened while she was off school and still hypos. She was 5.6 before bed last night, so i gave her 2 slices of small wholemeal toast 16g carbs and she dropped to 5.8 before i went to bed at 11.30, so checked again at 5.30 and she was 3.3. don't know own why i am feeding her up to get her sky high but still giving her 3 units. This is the bit that does not make sense. Again hypo today 2/3 hours after breakfast on half a unit per 30g. Thanks for all your advice [/QUOTE]
