Low Readings Before Bed - New Insulin

[Jayden2407]

Hi!

I have a question; my 10 year old son is on multiple injections a day, 3 Novorapid and Lantus at night. He’s just changed over to Tresiba for the first time tonight and I was wondering if his bedtime reading was 4.3 will just the Tresiba be okay or should he have a biscuit or something to bump it up a little? Thanks in advance,
Janelle

I have a minimum of 6 before bed so I'd have a biscuit

Biscuit definitely. It is a bit low, so best to be safe.

He’s asked can he have a malted milk instead of rich tea, would that be okay? It’s a plain biscuit isn’t it..?

That's fine. Nearly same carbs in both
