[QUOTE="mkzp123, post: 2347641, member: 110465"] Help Required Hi guys, I have a 12-year-old son who weighs roughly 60kg and is having so many hypos at the moment and will appreciate any advice if anyone has experienced the issue below. I am awaiting for a call back from his diabetes team. At present he is on 29.5 units of tresiba in the evening. He wakes up within 5-10 mmol range which is fine. At breakfast he is on 1.7 units of novorapid per 10g and is fine and within 4-8mmol at lunch. At lunch he is on 0.3 units per 10g but he is going low soon after lunch (30 mins to a hour)& then keeps going low even after treating a hypo. He usually has to treat the hypo 2 -3 times before his glucose levels increase. For his hypo treatment he either has 2 glucose tablets or 150 ml coke can or juice with a 10g biscuit In the evening he is on 0.3 units per 10g and is fine up till bedtime but some days does go low We are not sure what is causing so many hypos after lunch. His blood glucose levels are fine during the night,when he wakes up and at lunchtime. Is it possible that he does not need insulin during lunchtime ? Thanks in advance for any advice guys. [/QUOTE]
