[QUOTE="azure, post: 1289542, member: 39639"] That suggests it might be an insulin issue, as Tim mentioned. You should always check first, but if I got a result like that, I'd up my breakfast insulin slightly. When I was first diagnosed, I got a similar pattern (have I told you this already?? Getting déjà vu!) My consultant confirmed this was more than likely my own insulin kicking in too late. I then had a mid-morning snack to ward off the low. I don't know how practical tiny changes in insulin are when your daughter is on small doses, but you could, if the DSN said it was ok, raise the bolus slightly and also make an adjustment to the weight of cereal portion. So if you worked out she needed 1/4 unit raise but can't do that because pens only come in half units, you can increase the amount of cereal by a few grammes and raise the insulin 1/2 unit. Hope I've explained that in an understandable way! [/QUOTE]
