| Aaron will actually come to me if he's feeling he'll need a check. Often it's when he's had a huge bedtime snack late and has a big wad of insulin on board -- its action can be a little unpredictable at night so it's a check to make sure he hasn't overbolused -- or if he's running way high we'll check to make sure it's coming down.
I do feel that this is a very big load for a kid to carry already. He deals with this from the minute he wakes up until he crashes out for the night. An occasional night check seems a small enough way to help out.
