Hi everyone, well we had hypos after every meal yesterday. This is all from 1 bout of sickness on Monday. Then he was in the 20s all night. I rang the pump emergency number and got his consultant which I was pleased about. He told us to increase his carb ratio, go down to profile 1 from 3 and do a temporary basal of 50per cent and multi wave his insulin over 3 hours. So far so good, no hypos today. Feel like we are back to square one and all this through being sick once.

Hi Helen,

It does take a good couple of weeks for the gut to heal after a gastro bug, so his food is absorbing more slowly. Square wave boluses are the way to go for a while, otherwise as you've found he will be hypo soon after eating, and then high later on when the food has finally absorbed. Don't worry, he'll get back to normal in a couple of weeks.......until the next time 😉
