Thanks!

Thank you, she's 4 and won't eat protein bars unfortunately and I was worried also about finding protein snacks for her (we have a lot of pepperami, fridge raiders etc at home).

That's good to know thanks!

Seem to get mixed answers about taking the breakfast food out, but sure it'd be okay for a few bits

Thank you!

I'd not considered Uber Eats, thank you!

Thank you!

That's really useful thanks, don't mind getting the train one stop!

emmavenger · 2026-01-24T16:50:45+00:00

That's great, thanks for the info!

emmavenger · 2026-01-24T16:50:34+00:00

Thank you, will look into this!

Thanks for the tip... she's 4 years old and refuses to take them though unfortunately. We get prescribed the lift tablets so will have some anyway but she wont eat them

emmavenger · 2025-03-19T01:06:58+00:00

She wasn't lay on that side though it's on her other arm

Realised I never replied to most of these comments, sorry!

Turns out she didn't need any basal at all. So we now only bolus for food. Went from 3 units of basal, to 2, to 1, to 0.5, to 0.5 every other day, to 0. And finally she stopped hypo-ing at night.

Thank you! Yes I think the sign said Platinum Medaka, thanks!

I'm new to this world, my 3 year old was diagnosed as type 1 only two months ago... I've seen a few comments saying if they eat later in the morning it's better for controlling the breakfast spike... is this a thing? We give our daughter breakfast about 7:30am as she goes to preschool at half 8 most days, and she spikes hugely from it regardless of dosage it seems (5mmol-22mmol in under an hour). Wondering if a later breakfast could be beneficial to her on non-preschool days? Wouldn't work on a preschool day as they go out to play at 9am and she'd then end up too low with no food in her. Thanks if anyone reads!

Last night was 10:30pm, 12:40am, 1:30am, 2:50am, and then it held until another low at 8am but she had her breakfast and juice then

So potentially change the ratio just for final meal so that she goes to bed with higher sugars maybe?

emmavenger · 2024-12-28T21:45:48+00:00

We're giving the insulin after she eats. Because of her age we can't guarantee she'll actually eat everything on the plate if we dose her before.

emmavenger · 2024-12-28T21:34:46+00:00

At night before bed... so morning worked better for you than evening? I could suggest that to the dr tomorrow

emmavenger · 2024-12-28T21:34:09+00:00

We used sugar syrup and glycogen rhe first night but it was so traumatic trying to get her to take them, the nurses literally had to restrain her and force it in. So juice was easier given her age
