My son was diagnosed type 1 almost 3 weeks ago. He’s coping well for his age and I’m very proud of him. We’ve just started carb counting and so he has more flexibility with his insulin dose.
My problem is that we ate out at tea time today and he had his insulin but the food took over an hour to get to us, so he ended up hypo. We treated with glucose tablets and 10 mins later his food came so he ate it. His readings were went up and are now over 14, I’ve tested for keytones but says “lo” he fell asleep in the car on the way home and is fast asleep now, I’m so worried about him.
Does anyone have any advice please? I will test his BG again in half an hour hopefully they’ll be coming back down again but I can’t help worrying
