Hi again to anyone who may read this 🙂
I changed my son's Lantus from before bed, to before school daily - this was about 6 days ago now. Anyway, my main reason for doing this was my fear of him having hypos in the night and it seems to be working ok, although I have had to decrease his lunchtime insulin at school by 1 unit as he was going slightly low during the day.
Anyway, the knock on effect has been that he has been waking up with high readings, but the reason I write this particularly is that last night, I checked his bm at 11pm and it was high, so I corrected - I then checked him as we now do every night at 3am - he had come down to a nice reading of 6.7, but then awoke at 8am over 13!!! Could this be down to the so called dawn phenomenon?
Just can't seem to get it all right
