Hi, I'd be grateful for any thoughts on high morning readings please.
My 5 year old son was dx on Good Friday so we're in the very early days. He's having Levemir every morning (increased to 6 units yesterday) and novo rapid with meals (1 for every 25g carbs plus any correction with 1 for every 10mmol reduction). We're managing to keep fairly steady levels in the day which are a bit higher than usual but come down ok, but his morning reading is very high. Today was 16.4 and the last few days have been in 17s.
I'm a bit torn tbh - I'm terrified of him going hypo at night when I'm not there, but this is way too high. He was 8.6 at bedtime yesterday and had a snack with insulin.
It feels as if his Levemir isn't covering him til morning, but I'm very new at this so may be way off mark. I know it will take some time to regulate - after all, it's only 10 days since he was diagnosed and was 44! Maybe I just need to chill out....
Any ideas?
Thanks
