[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 183824, member: 6681"] Hi Stoney, Does he inject and novorapid for the snack? Personally, I would get him to skip the snack for a day of two, and do some regular testing, and see what the pattern is...if he is , say 7mmoln/L at 8pm, 6.8 ate 10 pm, 7.2 at midnight, but at 4 am he has shot up, then you know that it is not the snack, and then could be not enough lantus, or the dawn effect. Alas, only way to find out is trial and error. Is it jus the lantus he finds really painfull? If he is newly diagnosed, then he may well be on lower doses that a child his age and size, that had been diagnosed at , say, age 5, as his body may be producing a little insulin for itself? I just tried Nigels calculation for me...and I take about 2 units more than my weight would suggest I should. It is a great place to start, but I would guess most peole have to tweak the initial level a bit. [/QUOTE]
