[QUOTE="therower, post: 1820009, member: 47983"] [USER=478821]@Jayden2407[/USER] . Don't panic. This is a common occurrence, even for the most hardened T1's. It's part of life with diabetes unfortunately. We all go low, hypo. We treat and then end up going high. 14 isn't overly high, have a look at the type1 stars R us thread in the type 1 sub forum. Just about everyone goes upto 14 and even higher on a regular basis. Your son is probably feeling a bit shattered with going low/ hypo. It can be very physically draining, hypos take a lot out of us especially when we're not used to them. Keep checking his sugars on a regular basis. Providing he isn't climbing at a great rate then I wouldn't take any action. You could do a correction dose but being so newly diagnosed I wouldn't recommend it. Corrections take more knowledge than you will have at the moment. The biggest thing to take from this is..... have a back up plan. Pre bolus before food is good BUT if you're eating out and can't be sure when food is going to arrive a better option maybe to inject immediately prior to eating. Pre bolusing at home is easy not so in alien surroundings. Diabetes isn't going to be easy and you have so much to learn. Put today down to a good lesson learned. How are his levels now? [/QUOTE]
