[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1574296, member: 295621"] That screams hypo to me... I assume you've tested his BG when you say "each time he's done it, his levels are never high.” – what were his levels? The liver will release glucose in response to hypos. It’s quite possible that your son is dropping low, but the BG tests always seem ‘okay’ when you do them because the liver has already kicked into action. Does his BG tend to go quite high after these events; and/or does he wake quite high? I suggest getting in touch with your diabetes care team and let them know what has been going on. I’d imagine they’ll come back with something similar and probably want to look at reducing his basal dose. Good luck and please do let us know the outcome :) [/QUOTE]
