My son was at a friend's today for an afternoon of console gaming. When asked what they had for tea - a burger (in bread roll), 2 hot dogs (in bread rolls), a slab of pizza, 2 iced donuts, and some diet coke. Any veg or salad? Oh yes, a cherry tomato! He bolused a total of nearly 12U (normal tea would be around 4U for him), and currently has a BG of 5.5 so not bad at all!!
 
Wow ! I'm shocked at the "menu" ! But well done to your son for managing his bloods so well. Really excellent !
 
Thanks Cleo, but he went up into the 20's overnight, so early indications were deceptive! Not the sort of meal he'd be given at home.....
