Type 1 Hypos after each meal

Hello,

Just a quick question, I seemed to have lost control of my son's ratios and am struggling in what to tweak in the way of bolus or basal.

He is high at night so we have increased his basal from 5.5 to 7. He has it once at night and since we have increased it his levels have dropped from 16's - 20's to 8's - 12's during the night.

But he has hypos pretty much after each meal (2-3 hrs after) and so we have decreased his meal time ratios. But it's getting a little silly, his breakfast ratio was 1:10 but now 1:20, other ratios similar in their changes. And he's still having hypos every time he eats!!!

It's bizarre, it's almost like he's running on basal alone. The logical thing with all the hypos would seem to decrease the basal, but when we do that he then spends all night high.

Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks.

He's 8 years old and has Novorapid/Levemir.

Wow lots of replies - thank you very much to all of you.

He's been diagnosed 22 months now and is currently trailing the Libre. I haven't seen a timeline graph from this yet, I will get onto that.

He doesn't split the Levemir , he has it about 8pm. Splitting it does seem like a possibility because about 4pm (when it runs out) his levels can shoot up into the late teens/twenties.

He does run around a bit, but not always, I don't think it's an exercise thing. And he definitely needs insulin with his meals.

I just can't figure out how to keep him low during the night without these hypos after meals. Maybe I do need to decrease the bolus by a lot, it just seems like a huge shift in ratios, and we are always tweaking them here and there, but this seems like all ratios changing at the same time - and changing a lot.
