Looks like the day went well, with some good numbers, apart from the 2.0! As you say, the night looked difficult, hope tonight goes better.

Hi Delta
Fabulous first day. From going to mixes to being ok ish on Lantus/NR took a couple of months for my daughter, so don't dispair.
You have the same pattern already that loads of children (no idea about adults but probably the same) ie up at midmorning, down rapidly by lunch. Are you giving a mid morning snack? Even though they say you don't have you, after a week with maybe the same sort of pattern you will have to. I started at 15 grams of carb for a snack and went from there. Even if my daughter hit a mid morning peak of 20.0 odd, I still had to give a 15 cho snack as she plummeted by 12 noon.
You really have no need to worry. It really heartens me when I hear about people that want to 'get it'. So many parents just don't bother, believe me, it is frightening. You are doing fab.
