My 8 yr old has recently been diagnosed with Type 1. She had a hypo of 2.4 this evening an hour after her meal. She was given 3 gloucose tablets and a biscuit. Her readings came up to 4.7 within 15 mins. I just tested her an hour after and she is now 17 and asleep. I have also given her her 5units of slow release insulin and she is still within the 3 hours of her novorapid. Should I treat the hyper or let her sleep and test her again before going to bed as I am afraid of stacking and also the other insulin might have started working by then. Any advice anyone? Thanks in advance
 
i wouldn.t give anymore insulin tonight....let her sleep and go to school tomorrow... although she may feel a bit grotty in the morning xx
 
Hi there rebound hyper r very common I get them all the time u can't seem to win if she hasn't got any keytones she should be ok but just keep an. Eye on her blood sugar but I'm an adult. Childrens bodys are different the bomarang affect as I call them but don't worry let her sleep her body will even it out hope this is the correct advice if not someone will point it out to me I was diagnosed in 2008 as type 1 an oldie at over 40 hope she's ok
 
Hi Blondie :)

Thanks everybody for the help. She continued to rise and was 20.9 at 11pm so I gave her 1 unit of novorapid and this brought her down so that she was 11 by morning. This living with diabetes thing is an art and a science! M
 
Glad you got her sugars down in the end. Keep fighting you're doing well with her, my mum was always the same with me and we eventually found the patterns :)
