[QUOTE="Rach85, post: 1425352, member: 390513"] Hi, Thank you again :) We do have a half unit pen, and she has had her Levemir dropped from 5 the week after diagnosis on 16th Feb, to 4 and the past 2 weeks to 3 units. It seems that since her diagnosis she has needed less and less insulin each week. I have asked the diabetic team if her Levemir can be adjusted. However the diabetic team are appearing to be reluctant to even take notice of this. This morning she was 6.6 before breakfast and had 1 unit novarapid for 32g carbs, when she was tested at school 2.5 hours later she was 2.9. But they are saying that they are only willing to change her 2g carbs per time, for breakfast and unwilling to change the levemir again. She has felt sick and dizzy all day at school due to another lower reading after lunch. After she has breakfast at 7.45 she is then taken to school and the care plan that has been set up for her states that she wont be tested until first break at 10.30, so 45 mins later than I would at home. But the diabetic team have said that she needs testing at break so not to disrupt lessons, but I may ask the teacher tomorrow to check her at 9.45 to see if she is low then or if the 45 mins is having any impact. The school have been amazing so I'm sure they wont mind. The diabetic nurse is calling me on Thursday to see how things are, so I will be asking again about her Levemir. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
