Okay well another thread has reminded me that I just wanted to ask about milk. When E is a bit low before bed (eg under 6mmols), one of his favourite things to free carb is milk.
Over and over again we have found that this seems to totally CATAPULT him high by morning. Like into the realm of 14 mmols!
It sounds crazy maybe. We used to think it was McVitties digestives that did this, but then we cut those out and realised we'd kept in the milk and it was STILL sending him high.
Does anyone else find this? Milk seems to be okay if he boluses for it, but if he tries to free carb it, hold on to your hats.
Can this be right?!
(It's semi-skimmed, about 150 mls of it usually)
