[QUOTE="lisamariebrankin, post: 328915, member: 46878"] Ah Ava was took into hospital DKA, Thats probs why we were told to expect her to eat loads for short amount of time then. We are very lucky she is still here the state she was in!! Avas lowest hypo has been 1.1 and she showed no signs what so ever!! but then sometimes the sweat can be pouring off her and she is only 3.7... we have had literally over 100 hypos since she was diagnosed. I know that sounds worrying but i am telling you this to calm your nerves about them. I remember really getting panicked in the first few weeks when she fell hypo. Now it isnt as scary.As longs as you know how to bring her levels up ok then she will be absolutely fine. I know the worry of nocturnal hypos though... does your daughter have a supper snack??? Ava usually has 13g carb supper snack (bottle of milk)... but if her bloods are below 7 then we are to increase this to 20grams snack to prevent any night time or early morning hypo. (this was advised by dn). Another thing they changed with Ava to prevent the night time early morn hypos was to give the background insulin in the morning, rather than at night. Maybe you could ask ur dn about doing similar? Ava isnt yet started on the pump... we are in the process of training for it, from speaking to another parent on here it sounds like im still a few months off her being on it to :( Ava is on Novorapid for her fast acting insulin and Glargine lanctus for her background insulin. Im quite lucky Ava is so young that alot of the diet restrictions dont count as much for Ava as she requires the fat content in her food until she is 5... her diet changes and becomes alot stricter then. As far as work is concerned, as Ava is so young, and cant tell any1 when she isnt feeling well (hypo etc), i literally had to take a good 4 months off (luckily im a self employed hairdresser so it wasnt a huge issue, apart from money lol)... I went back part time only a few weeks back, most of the time taking ava with me or having clients come to me. I hope everything goes ok with all that in your case. [/QUOTE]
