My husband was recently diagnosed with type 1 in January. Last night he had several hypos and a severe case of diarrhoea. The diarrhoea meant he was unable to get his sugar levels up. We ended up having a paramedic come out who actually did nothing but sit with him and then wait for his levels to come up. I am just seeking any advice on how to look after him today as this is the first time he's had a bug with his diabetes.
He is checking his levels and they are in range. He isn't taking any insulin as he "honeymooning"
Should he take his long lasting insulin tonight or not as I don't want him to hypo again? He isn't eating and is struggling to keep food and drink down?
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANK YOU
