A friend's daugther has been diagnosed recently, she asked me this question so I wasnt very sureHi,
Interesting question. Why do you wish to know.?
Are there not any guidelines for kids?That is something between the child, their carer and their hospital team.
Giving general advice on this could cause dangerous situations, which is why this is left to endocrinologists and specialised nurses who know the situation of the individual child.
Please never tell parents of a diabetic child what their child's glucose level should be.

Tell them you cannot answer, you are not a doctorA friend's daugther has been diagnosed recently, she asked me this question so I wasnt very sure
Goonergal is completely correct here, you cannot advise on this.I’m confused. Why would they ask you rather than their daughter’s health care professional. It is potentially dangerous for anyone else to answer this question. Please refer your friend to their doctor.

Yes I amHi,
You friend's child has recently been diagnosed. The mother should contact her health care team regarding managment of night time BGs.
I'm some what bemused as to the reason your friend would ask you & not speak with her doctor.
Do you have a background in any form of medical field or other form of health care, professionally?
She was just discussing thinking that i am also diabetic so i would knew this. But yes I will refer her to healthcare teamI’m confused.
