We *think* we are okay. But if anyone sees this: my son inadvertently took 12 units of levemir tonight instead of 8. This is because we recently split his does into 8 morning/8 evening, and he just did it absentmindedly.
What this means is that 8 units are still in him from this morning (gone by tomorrow morning), so we figure that tonight is the only dangerous point (when he will have one and a quarter normal amount in him). We are planning to a) test him through the night and b) leave him on a slightly lower dose all tomorrow (eg don't give him more in the morning).
This happened just before we ate, so we did not give him the normal novorapid with his evening meal, which was low carb anyway and he shouldn't have too much of a spike. Therefore when the meal is digested, his level should at least be fairly stable through the night, if we are correct? Although of course we will keep testing him.
My son is cross at himself -- but these things happen. We have phoned our local children's ward, but they were of the 'give him a couple of extra biscuits at bed and test him' persusion (eg pretty useless).
Does this plan sound okay?
