| Thanks Type1TenorLady and all the other replies. My son arrived back from camp where the teachers woke him during the night as they were v active during the day and he tends to go a little low after activitiy. On the last night, after setting 75% basal rate for 24 hrs, and half bolusing for dinner, the 3am check showed him at 2.5mmol (about 45 I think). After treating twice, as he only moved up to 5.0 (90) half hour later, he then woke at 7am at 3mmol/l (54)! The previous day he had hiked for 4 hours, and kayaked for 3 upstream. I am glad I had the teachers check him.
He has quite good control and last HbA1c was 6.8%.
Think I'll buy an alarm clock and see how he goes. In 2 years he'll be away for 4 weeks on a camp - so he'll need to have it all sorted by then.
Cheers! |
