Nearly all of her lows are at lunchtime, 12-12:30. She's on injections and we're experimenting with smaller breakfasts and a bigger snack at 10:30 - but its not been easy, we had another low yesterday. All we can all do is keep trying. Good luck.ChrisKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947519435195180026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641151777695044916.post-59453286689821468652011-08-01T18:09:54.256-07:002011-08-01T18:09:54.256-07:00Coming out of Ellie's honeymoon meant high, hi...Coming out of Ellie's honeymoon meant high, higher and highest numbers. We kept upping the long-acting insulin and lowering her carb ratio until we hit a few lows and then evened out. Her numbers have been in perfect range ever since. :: crickets :: HA! Her numbers are still too high and sometimes too low, but they don't hang out on those ranges for too long or require changes to ratios or total units.<br /><br />My endo told me that T1D's are out of their honeymoon when their weight in kilograms roughly equal their daily units of insulin (both fast acting and long acting insulin)<br /><br />And, for the record, breakfast is a beast for us :(Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826248976364694184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641151777695044916.post-48857250512192931992011-07-31T20:54:41.913-07:002011-07-31T20:54:41.913-07:00We had BOTH.

It's like it only worked in spurts. : (<br /><br />I'd lower his correction rate (if you are correcting that 230)-seems like it's crashing him-unless his basal/Lantus is high?<br /><br />So sorry-I know how hard it can be!! Wendy is right-breakfast is the hardest-it takes SO much more insulin than any other meal!<br />Hope it gets better, Nikki : )Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864147601205439993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641151777695044916.post-67763957877123630182011-07-29T20:40:38.252-07:002011-07-29T20:40:38.252-07:00We didn't have an honeymoon either...her pancr...We didn't have an honeymoon either...her pancreas was beyond gone by the time she got that first drop of IV insulin :(<br /><br />I will say that this is very typical for all kiddos with D. UP DOWN UP DOWN...sometimes WAY UP...other times WAY DOWN. <br /><br />And, for the record, I'd be quite happy with 230 an hour after bfast.
