[QUOTE="adrian29459, post: 331135, member: 6703"] Hello Thumper. I'm a type 1 diabetic with both experience in injections and insulin pumps. I've had diabetes for 14yrs since I was 12 and over the past 6 years I've had over 30 seizures (or fits). This was really hard for my parents and we come up with a number of reasons why they could have occurred. Some were due to exercise, some over-bolus, there's even ones where my BG was high and I put it down to a recent stressful situation. It might be worth checking any of these. Good to hear you have the basal rates sorted. Also make sure he has a good carb rich/low GI supper before bed, especially if he's been exercising. At first this may result in a few high readings on morning so be careful not to over-correct on breakfast - I had a few severe hypos at work due to this. After a number of unexplainable seizures with blood sugars being normal/high before or after I was later diagnosed with epilepsy and now take a small tablet dose to control. Luckily I haven't had a seizure since April 2011 and have lived alone since June 2011. If you haven't already, look at getting a Hypowallet, it useful in emergencies when you're out of Lucozade [url]http://www.hyposite.co.uk/hypowallet/[/url] [/QUOTE]
