[QUOTE="rsagoo, post: 2349670, member: 262701"] Hi, Sorry I'm a bit late. ISF is the insulin sensitivity factor/correction factor - basically it is how much the blood sugar levels will drop with 1 unit of insulin. A lower ISF will give more insulin, and a higher ISF will give less insulin. This would have been set up on the pump when your son first got it. It's one of those settings that I forget about but worth looking into. If he is high at 12.30am - depending what time he sleeps, pre-bed snack, his basal may need increasing from about 10pm. Best talk to the team to see about any adjustments you want to make and see what they say. Regarding hypo treatments - during the day we give him gluco tabs or if he is trending down but not low, we'll give a quick snack like hald an orange and see if he still needs a tablet. At night we give him apple juice as he finds it quicker to drink than chew a tab at night. Have a happy new year [/QUOTE]
