[QUOTE="PickingPoppies, post: 398292, member: 75029"] I think it depends how long they've been diagnosed and what their levels have been. To start with my son's diabetic nurse said "as long as he's below 20". He was in the 30's but no significant keytones when he first came home from hospital and was back at school within 4 days. Then she dropped it to below 15 as a target, now our target is below 10 which most T1's would say is too high but you can't get right down to 7's too quickly as you are more likely to get hypo's. PS. I'm by no means an expert as my son was only diagnosed at the beginning of April so I'm just guessing based on my very limited experience. [/QUOTE]
