[QUOTE="J's mum, post: 633382, member: 128139"] Hello! I am brand new here, so apologies if my question seems a silly one! My son (aged 10) was diagnosed type 1 just over 2 weeks ago and we're slowly getting to grips with things. He has had lots of hypos (in the 3s range) especially during the night. For the last few nights he has been having hypos in the 2s range (yesterday 2.2) and he very nearly passed out about one hour and a half after his evening meal. He has been having plenty of carbs (not too many!) with his meals and they have been balanced with vegetables. We give him his short acting insulin just before his meal. I would have expected the insulin to balance the carbs in his meal, but maybe I've got things wrong!? I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this dramatic drop after tea and, if so, how have you overcome it? Also, is it normal to experience so many hypos (however mild) when newly diagnosed? Is it just part of the learning curve? Thank you, in advance for your help!! :-) J's Mum [/QUOTE]
