Well I've just tested at 3am and he was 4.6. So now I'm a little worried in case he dips lower.

Going to retest in an hour or so.
 
Just retested and 4.8 now. So staying constant.
 
That sounds like your son is normal! LOL Around 3am is supposed to be the time when humans get their lowest BG!
 
Star Wars day.

Went to see Star Wars. Family Xmas cinema trip we do every year.

Son has been spot on all day. 6.9, 5.1 and 5.7.

Bag of haribos injected based on carbs, after film 13.9. So high.

Then Pizza Hut.

Got their food folder and worked out carbs for pizza he choose. Adjusted insulin due to being high.

Now half way through I can tell he is getting full so I say he can leave it we will just have to work out if you have something else.

He leaves one slice and a crust. So we check the carbs in the folder rough look at size of portions using the carb counting app and he had ice cream chocolate sauce and buttons.

Just tested and he's 5.7. 🙂
 
You're doing great! 🙂 Pizza can be a problem for a lot of people - high carb, high fat so sometimes has a kick in the tail of raising levels after insulin dose has run its course. Of course, this being diabetes, it affects people differently! 🙄
 
Re blurred eyesight- I was lucky enough to get an optician who had a special interest and knowledge of diabetes and eye changes. She was doing a doctorate on the subject and so gave me a test every 2 weeks for 8 weeks to monitor how the eye changed as blood glucose got more under control. She determined at 8 weeks that the sight had stabilised enough to now warrant new glasses. I had previously worn reading and long sight glasses and funnily enough whilst going through this period I had not needed my long sight glasses at all - that was perfect!! However of course as levels came under control the reading became better and the long sight worse again.
