Hello All,
I've had a look around the forum but can't find anything specifically about what I am after. My son was diagnosed with T1D about 18 months ago, he is in his late teens. He manages his diabetes very, very well and I take my hat off to him (in range >95%) but one issue he does have is going low even during very mild exercise - eg a 20 minute walk to the post box and back will make his blood sugar plummet and he'll have to eat and eat to get it back up.
In the past he has been walking for a few hours and not gone so low so quickly so why this is happening so much now is a bit odd.
He current take 4.5 unit's of Basal (Tresiba) each night as well as a bolus for each meal. He snacks up to about 15g of carbs in between meals with no insulin which doesn't appear to raise his BS substantially.
Has anyone else had a similar experience and if so how do you handle it as he's finding it a bit of a pain and obviously as his mum it worries me.
Thank you
