[QUOTE="wsmum, post: 199236, member: 33079"] This is an interesting thread ... my son had exactly the same problem for about 2 weeks recently (Spearmint, can see from this thread that you're v. experienced so my post on the other thread was probably a case of 'teaching grandmother to suck eggs' ... ) We were away on holiday at the time. Son had 2 novorapid pens, one in his bag for the daytime and another at our holiday cottage, which he happened to use for the evening meal. His numbers went up to 15 before bed. I called his diabetic team for advice, and they said to give a correction dose. Didn't work (stayed at 15)! So I assumed the pen had gone wrong for some reason and did a correction dose from the other one. Numbers went down. The next evening, exactly the same thing happened with the 'non faulty' pen! So it was something else going on. We adjusted his carb:insulin ratio for the evening meal and that helped but he was still going a bit high (11 or 12) at bedtime. Things are better again now, after about 2 weeks of this. He didn't seem ill (although he did have hayfever but everyone assures me that shouldn't be a big problem), so I'm wondering if he was having a growth spurt? Don't think it was the different stuff we were doing on holiday as it carried on when we got home ... I hope that your kids find it's a short-lived thing too. Would be interested to know how your experiments go! Catherine [/QUOTE]
