Hello, my daughter has had diabetes for six years now and most of the time we have good control, I'm just wondering if anyone else hates school holidays as much as me. It just seems to be that no matter how hard I try nothing seems to work. Two days ago we had a high of 20 two hrs after her tea, the next day the high of 20was after lunch but the tea reading were spot on 8.5 per tea and 2 hr check 8.1 . Then this morning the high was with two hrs after breakfast . The scary thing is that we have these huge spikes and then within two hrs of giving correction we get hypos. I would be grateful if anyone had any ideas about what s going on.

Hi @martina,

I will bump your post up for a reply.
I wonder if the difference is because school days are structured and so there is a routine?

Is your daughter using less energy when she's not as school @martina?

Getting the hypos 2 hours after correcting sounds like maybe you are over correcting, that's what happens when I over correct anyways,

hope you get it sorted x
