Thanks for all your advice.

In response to Funnygrl, no - we generally only test him at 3am when he's been active during the day. He is really sporty, so especially during winter, when he plays two types of football every weekend, and trains for athletics and swims during the week, I'd feel more comfortable if an over-night check is done (he can drop a little low after all the activity). When he's on camp they are out and about all day hiking and kayaking etc. hence the necessity to test at 3am.
